All three dogs were admitted for signs of respiratory distress and all were determined to be in left congestive heart failure by history, exam findings, thoracic radiographs, and echocardiography. In addition to standard therapy for left congestive heart failure, IV nitroglycerin was administered as a constant rate infusion at a dose of 1\u20136 mcg\/kg\/min. No adverse events attributable to the drug were noted. This is the first reported use of IV nitroglycerin in clinical veterinary patients. Further studies are warranted to investigate the safety, efficacy, and optimal dosing of IV nitroglycerin infusions in dogs with left congestive heart failure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-6730","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,12]],"date-time":"2019-11-12T19:11:26Z","timestamp":1573585886000},"page":"37-41","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Treatment of Congestive Heart Failure with Intravenous Nitroglycerin in Three Dogs with Degenerative Valvular Disease"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Ron","family":"Achiel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andy","family":"Carver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert A.","family":"Sanders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Small Animal Critical Care Medicine","first-page":"230","article-title":"Valvular heart disease","author":"Wey\n              AC","year":"2015","unstructured":"Wey\n              AC\n            \n          .
