There was no breed or sex predisposition when compared to the general hospital population. The mean \u00b1 s.d. age of affected horses was 7.6 \u00b18.1 years. Horses with MR and congestive heart failure had significant increases in mean values for left ventricular chamber size, left atrial size and heart rate and significant decreases in interventricular septal and left ventricular free wall thickness. Significant increases in pulmonary artery diameter were detected compared to aortic diameter. Mean values for fractional shortening were not significantly different from normal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    All horses had a\n                    <jats:italic>Grade 3\u20136\/6<\/jats:italic>\n                    holosystolic or pansystolic murmur with its point of maximal intensity in the mitral to aortic valve area. Atrial fibrillation was found at presentation in 24 horses with MR and congestive heart failure. One horse presented with atrial tachycardia and subsequently developed atrial fibrillation. Seven horses had ventricular premature contractions. Exercise intolerance (n = 34), respiratory signs (n = 31), and fever (n = 21) were the most common presenting signs. Thickening of the left atrioventricular valve leaflets, endocarditis, flail valve leaflets, rupture of a\n                    <jats:italic>chorda tendineae<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and mitral valve prolapse were detected echocardiographically. Doppler echocardiography confirmed the presence of a large systolic regurgitant jet in the left atrium in all horses in which it was used, and in many horses, concurrent tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation was detected. All horses died or were subjected to euthanasia due to the severity of their MR and\/or lack of response to therapy.\n                    <jats:italic>Post mortem<\/jats:italic>\n                    examinations were performed in 35 horses and confirmed the echocardiographic findings. The echocardiographic detection of a flail mitral valve leaflet was significantly associated with the detection of a ruptured\n                    <jats:italic>chorda tendineae<\/jats:italic>\n                    at\n                    <jats:italic>post mortem<\/jats:italic>\n                    examination. There was a significant association between echocardiographic detection of a dilated pulmonary artery and its presence at\n                    <jats:italic>post mortem<\/jats:italic>\n                    examination.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>M\u2010mode, 2\u2010dimensional real\u2010time, and Doppler echocardiography should be used to accurately characterise the valvular abnormalities and assess the severity of mitral regurgitation. Pulmonary artery dilatation, an echocardiographic indication of severe pulmonary hypertension, should be considered a grave prognostic indicator and may indicate impending pulmonary artery rupture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2042-3306.1998.tb04084.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,23]],"date-time":"2010-04-23T15:07:09Z","timestamp":1272035229000},"page":"18-27","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":93,"title":["Severe mitral regurgitation in horses: clinical, echocardiographic and pathological findings"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"VIRGINIA B.","family":"REEF","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.
