Abstract:ObjectivesTo calculate the shock index (SI) in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) and to evaluate its use to predict the presence of congestive heart failure (CHF).DesignRetrospective study.SettingSmall animal university veterinary teaching hospital.AnimalsNinety‐eight dogs with MMVD and 20 healthy dogs as part of a control group.InterventionsHeart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were recorded, and SI was calculated by dividing HR by SBP for each dog.Measurements and Main ResultsThe m… Show more
