Abstract

In dogs with myxomatous mitral valve degeneration, the correlation between the radiographic left atrial dimension RLAD and two echocardiographic sizes has been examined. The dogs without pulmonary edema showed a low degree of correlation between RLAD and the linearly indexed left atrial size LA/Ao, and a high degree of correlation between RLAD and the linearly indexed diastolic size of the left ventricle LVD-d/Ao. The dogs with pulmonary edema showed no correlation between RLAD and the two echocardiographic sizes.
