Puppies and adult dogs diagnosed with subaortic stenosis can suffer from a range of clinical signs such as fainting, breathing difficulty in the moderate cases or heart failure and sudden death in severe cases. [2] Symptoms also include sudden/strong lethargicism, continuous heavy panting, and a rise in temperature.
In dogs, tricuspid valve dysplasia can be similar to Ebstein's anomaly in humans. [2] Mitral valve stenosis is one of the most common congenital heart defects in cats. In dogs, it is most commonly found in Great Danes, German Shepherd Dogs, Bull Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Newfoundlands, and Mastiffs.
Dogs with severe SAS are predisposed to dying suddenly. [49] Pulmonic stenosis* is a congenital heart disease in dogs characterized by right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Most commonly the narrowing occurs at the pulmonary valve but it can also occur below
Stenosis here leads to a narrowing of the passage for blood to flow out of the left ventricle, thus a LVOTO. More than 50% of patients with aortic valve stenosis have a congenital heart abnormality called a bicuspid aortic valve. The aortic valve is normally three leaflets but when it is bicuspid it is made of two. [6]
Older, small breeds of dogs are prone to congestive heart failure due to degeneration of the mitral valve. This condition is known to be inherited in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Degenerative valve disease is the most common form of heart disease in dogs. [25]
That sound can signal carotid artery stenosis—narrowing of the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the brain—or the rare vascular disease fibromuscular dysplasia.

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.
