Echocardiographic assessment of the left ventricular outflow tract in the Boxer.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Soft, variable ejection murmurs are common in Boxers and are associated with increased left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) ejection velocities. Whether these murmurs are physiologic or indicate mild aortic stenosis is controversial. Ejection velocity is impacted by LVOT area and ventricular stroke volume (SV), suggesting that these variables are pertinent to murmur development. HYPOTHESIS: Boxers...
