Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) but its effect on clinical outcome has not been investigated.
HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: The presence of PH worsens the outcome in dogs with MMVD. To compare survival times of dogs with MMVD and PH to those without PH.
Two hundred and twelve client-owned dogs.
Case review study. Medical records of dogs diagnosed with ACVIM stage B2 and C MMVD between January 2010 and December 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. Long-term outcome was determined by telephone interview or from the medical record. End of the observation period was March 2013. PH was identified if tricuspid regurgitation peak velocity was >3 m/s.
Two hundred and twelve were identified. Eighty-three dogs (39%) had PH. PH was more commonly identified in stage C compared to B2 (P < .0001). One hundred and five (49.5%) dogs died during the observation period. Median survival time for the entire study population was 567 days (95% CI 512-743). Stage C (P = .003), the presence of PH (P = .009), left atrial to aortic root ratio (LA/Ao) >1.7 (P = .0002), normalized left-ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDn) >1.73 (P = .048), and tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (TRPG) >55 mmHg (P = .009) were associated with worse outcomes in the univariate analyses. The presence of TRPG >55 mmHg (HR 1.8 95% CI 1-2.9; P = .05) and LA/Ao > 1.7 (HR 2 95% CI 1.2-3.4; P = .01) remained significant predictors of worse outcome in the multivariate analysis.
In dogs with MMVD, moderate to severe PH worsens outcome.
肺动脉高压(PH)在患有黏液瘤性二尖瓣疾病(MMVD)的犬中很常见,但尚未对其对临床结局的影响进行研究。
假设/目的:PH的存在会使患有MMVD的犬的预后恶化。比较患有MMVD和PH的犬与未患PH的犬的生存时间。
212只客户拥有的犬。
病例回顾研究。回顾性分析2010年1月至2011年12月期间诊断为ACVIM B2期和C期MMVD的犬的病历。通过电话访谈或病历确定长期结局。观察期截止至2013年3月。如果三尖瓣反流峰值速度>3 m/s,则确定存在PH。
共确定212只犬。83只犬(39%)患有PH。与B2期相比,C期更常发现PH(P <.0001)。105只(49.5%)犬在观察期内死亡。整个研究群体的中位生存时间为567天(95%可信区间512 - 743)。在单因素分析中,C期(P =.003)、PH的存在(P =.009)、左心房与主动脉根比率(LA/Ao)>1.7(P =.0002)、标准化左心室舒张末期直径(LVEDn)>1.73(P =.048)和三尖瓣反流压力梯度(TRPG)>55 mmHg(P =.009)与较差的结局相关。在多因素分析中,TRPG>55 mmHg(HR 1.8,95%可信区间1 - 2.9;P =.05)和LA/Ao>1.7(HR 2,95%可信区间1.2 - 3.4;P =.01)仍然是较差结局的显著预测因素。
在患有MMVD的犬中,中度至重度PH会使预后恶化。
