[2] The sound differs from normal heart sounds by their characteristics. For example, heart murmurs may have a distinct pitch, duration and timing.
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.
