Left ventricular changes resulting from chronic aortic regurgitation in dogs. 1984

R L Feldman, and W W Nichols, and L V Thompson, and D M Paley, and R Goldman, and C R Conti, and C J Pepine

Chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) was induced by aortic valve perforation using catheterization techniques in 7 closed-chest puppies. Approximately 2 years after the creation of AR in these puppies, their growth was similar to that in littermate controls. A gradually progressive degree of left ventricular (LV) dilation and hypertrophy occurred as LV end-diastolic volume (average 116%) and mass (average 114%) increased in animals with AR compared with that in the littermate controls. The technique described to induce AR did not interfere with the normal growth and development of the animals, and permitted study of the functional characteristics of the resulting LV dilation and hypertrophy without added effects of thoracotomy and pericardiotomy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002306 Cardiac Volume The volume of the HEART, usually relating to the volume of BLOOD contained within it at various periods of the cardiac cycle. The amount of blood ejected from a ventricle at each beat is STROKE VOLUME. Heart Volume,Cardiac Volumes,Heart Volumes,Volume, Cardiac,Volume, Heart,Volumes, Cardiac,Volumes, Heart
D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D006332 Cardiomegaly Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001022 Aortic Valve Insufficiency Pathological condition characterized by the backflow of blood from the ASCENDING AORTA back into the LEFT VENTRICLE, leading to regurgitation. It is caused by diseases of the AORTIC VALVE or its surrounding tissue (aortic root).

D013318 Stroke Volume The amount of BLOOD pumped out of the HEART per beat, not to be confused with cardiac output (volume/time). It is calculated as the difference between the end-diastolic volume and the end-systolic volume.
