Pimobendan is indicated for the management of the signs of mild, moderate, or severe congestive heart failure in dogs due to clinical myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM); [1] [7] and for use with concurrent therapy for congestive heart failure (e.g.,furosemide, etc.) as appropriate on a case-by-case basis.

The other common system defines "dog years" to be the actual calendar years (365 days each) of a dog's life, and "human years" to be the equivalent age of a human being. [2] By this terminology, the age of a 6-year-old dog is described as 6 dog years or 40–50 human years, a reversal from the previous definition.
Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but a new study suggests that could change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that reversed heart failure in animals.
Acute decompensated heart failure is a worsening of chronic heart failure symptoms, which can result in acute respiratory distress. [66] High-output heart failure can occur when there is increased cardiac demand that results in increased left ventricular diastolic pressure which can develop into pulmonary congestion (pulmonary edema). [46]
Myocardial failure and congestive heart failure are rare manifestations of this disease. [32] In 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a report citing a possible link between certain diets and canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dog breeds without the genetic predisposition.
The discovery of a heart murmur is not the same as diagnosing heart disease or even heart failure in dogs. ... this usually does not affect their life or health and is only found during a vet exam ...
Dogs with overt disease may also have episodic weakness and exercise intolerance, but syncope is the predominant manifestation. The third form, which is recognized much less frequently, is characterized by myocardial systolic dysfunction. This may result in left-sided, right-sided, or bi-ventricular congestive heart failure. It is not known if ...
Myelopathy: Tibetan Terriers are one of the dog breeds that can inherit this disease. This problem can only be diagnosed if all the other problems that cause similar symptoms are ruled out (1), so ...
