A necropsy diagnosis of hypoplastic left ventricular syndrome was made in a day-old foal. The cardiac abnormalities included mitral and aortic valve atresia, patent ductus arteriosus, and a secundum atrial septal defect. The left ventricle was hypoplastic and nonfunctional. The brief survival of the foal was a consequence of left-to-right shunting through the atrial septal defect and right-to-left shunting through the patent ductus. The information is presented to demonstrate the existence of the syndrome as a congenital defect in the horse and to clarify the necropsy findings for the practitioner to diagnose if seen.
一匹一日龄马驹经尸检诊断为左心室发育不全综合征。心脏异常包括二尖瓣和主动脉瓣闭锁、动脉导管未闭以及继发孔型房间隔缺损。左心室发育不全且无功能。马驹短暂存活是由于通过房间隔缺损的左向右分流以及通过动脉导管未闭的右向左分流。提供这些信息是为了证明该综合征作为马的一种先天性缺陷的存在，并为从业者在遇到时诊断该综合征而阐明尸检结果。
