| Abstract: | Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is possibly an emerging congenital cardiac anomaly in dogs. The defect causes clinical and pathophysiologic signs similar to those of congenital pulmonic stenosis in dogs but has distinct diagnostic features, breed predilections, and implications for treatment. The defect is often associated with clinical signs early in life. Surgical correction of DCRV can be undertaken with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass and offers the prospect of an improved clinical outcome. |
