It facilitates quantification of the frequency and severity of ventricular ectopy, and is important in the management of affected dogs.

According to one study, it has a sensitivity of 65% and specificity of 96% in HOCM. [11] Valsalva maneuver, as well as standing, decrease venous return to the heart. As a result, this decreases left ventricular filling. With HOCM, the outflow obstruction increases with a decrease in preload. This will increase the loudness of the murmur with ...
