Although breeders, owners and veterinarians who work with Norfolk Terriers are suspicious that an increased prevalence of mitral valve disease (MVD) exists in this breed, there have been no published studies to characterize MVD in the Norfolk. The goal of this study is to identify the prevalence, progression, pathology and potentially the genetic basis of mitral valve disease in the Norfolk Terrier. These questions will be answered by three specific aims: This information will benefit the breeder, veterinarian and pet owner by providing the information necessary to make informed medical and breeding decisions.

The Framingham Study estimated up to an 18-fold increased risk of thromboembolism if atrial fibrillation occurred with mitral disease. The most common valve disease precipitating cerebral thromboembolism is mitral stenosis. Indeed, cerebral thromboembolism may be the presenting manifestation in more than 10% of patients with mitral stenosis. Mitral regurgitation is less likely to result in embolic events, although concomitant mitral stenosis increases the risk of complications from mitral regurgitations. Mitral valve prolapse (MVP), often asymptomatic, occurs in 5-7% of the adult population, and therefore is commonly cited as a cause for many medical disorders, including epilepsy and stroke. Some patients with MVP and no other risk factors have recurrent cerebral ischemic events, suggesting a possible causal relationship.

Useful Organisations You are here: Home Patient Information Anatomy / treatment The mitral or bicuspid valve lies between the left atrium and left ventricle and consists of two leaflets or cusps. The valve may become damaged or diseased causing stenosis and/or regurgitation of the valve. Both of these complications may prevent the valve from functioning correctly. The mitral valve may become narrowed or 'stenotic' causing the valve not to open fully. This will obstruct the forward flow of blood into the left ventricle from the left atrium. Mitral stenosis is nearly always a consequence of: Both of these cause the valve leaflets and the support mechanisms (chordae tendineae) holding it in position to thicken and become rigid. This prevents the leaflets from opening properly and the free flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

Extractions: Mitral valve disease is the most common form of heart valve disease affecting 5 percent of the population in the United States resulting in over 500,000 hospital admissions per year. There are two general forms of mitral valve disease: mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation. Mitral stenosis is when a valve becomes thickened and narrowed, often with calcium buildup, obstructing blood flow through the valve. This causes increased back pressure of blood in the lungs and congestive heart failure. Mitral stenosis occurs less commonly than mitral regurgitation in the United States, but when it does occur it is usually a manifestation of rheumatic heart disease which occurs in some people with a childhood history of rheumatic fever. Mitral regurgitation is much more common, and refers to a valve that leaks blood backward in the heart from the left ventricle into the left atrium. This causes an increased workload on the heart and, when it becomes severe, congestive heart failure. Mitral regurgitation is classified into four types: ischemic, degenerative, rheumatic and infectious. Ischemic and degenerative (or myxomatous) mitral regurgitation account for most cases of mitral valve disease and occur with almost equal frequency in the U.S. Each of the different classifications of mitral valve disease demand specialized techniques to treat them.

BACK TO LINKS related terms: mitral valve disorder, mitral valve malformation, mitral dysplasia, mitral systolic murmur What is mitral valve disease? The heart consists of 4 chambers - 2 atria and 2 ventricles. The atrioventricular (AV) valves ensure that the blood flows from the atria to the ventricles when the heart beats. A defect in the mitral valve (the left atrioventricular valve) causes backflow of blood into the left atrium, or mitral regurgitation. Less commonly, a narrowing or stenosis of the valve can be identified. Because of the leaky valve, the heart is less efficient at pumping blood to the body. Mitral valve insufficiency is the most common acquired cardiac disease in older dogs, affecting over one third of dogs greater than 10 years of age. In some breeds however, mitral insufficiency develops at a much younger age, due to an inherited predisposition for this disorder. In some breeds, abnormal development (dysplasia) of the valve has been identified in the embryo.

Transplant, Artificial Devices Mitral Valve Clinic The diagnosis and treatment of mitral valve disease is an integral part of the delivery of heart care services. The University of Michigan Medical Center is a leader in the diagnosis and treatment of mitral valve disease. Mitral valve disease and its complications, mitral prolapse syndrome, mitral murmurs, congestive heart failure, shortness of breath, embolism, atrial fibrillation, etc. affect tens of thousands of patients each year. This interdisciplinary program was founded to provide these patients with services that their primary care physicians and cardiologists can not provide, including: provision of identified patients with a multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of mitral valve disease evaluation of the etiology of mitral valve disease generation of research literature regarding mitral disease provision of patients and referring physicians with mitral valve disease education in the areas of effective diagnostic methods and treatment options available identification and targeting of adult patients at risk for and with mitral valve disease Comprehensive evaluation of patients with mitral valve disease is a frustrating problem in the practice of cardiology, internal medicine and family practice, as many physicians are not familiar with the scope of this disease. The establishment of this program is in keeping with current trends in medical care, which are focusing on timely, effective interdisciplinary approaches to the treatment of systemic diseases.

Mitral Valve Disease: Cavaliers' Deadly Curse I What It Is Diagnosis Breeders' Responsibilities In Depth: ... Resources In Short: Heart mitral valve disease (MVD) is the leading cause of death in Cavaliers throughout the world. It is a polygenetic disease which afflicts over half of all Cavalier King Charles Spaniels by age 5 years and nearly all Cavaliers by age 10 years, should they survive that long. What It Is MVD is a degeneration of the heart's mitral valve, one of four sets of valves in a dog's heart. As the mitral valve degenerates, the valve no longer fully closes after each pumping action, allowing some blood to flow backwards through them from the ventricle back into the atrium. As the condition worsens, more and more blood is able to backflow through the valve. In the final stages, the valves struts sometimes break, causing the valve to collapse completely. MVD results in congestive heart failure in the CKCS.

Extractions: Ingelheim, Germany 25 November 2004. Hundreds of thousands of dogs across the world die of canine mitral valve disease every year. Over 180 cardiologists, research experts and veterinarians from 17 countries recently convened in Paris during the first-ever International Canine Valvular Disease Symposium (ICVS 2004) to discuss the shortcomings in the management of this disease and propose solutions for improving the standard of care. Mitral valve disease (MVD) is the most common cardiovascular disease in dogs reportedly responsible for an excess of 70 percent of all cases - yet, despite this prevalence, until now there has been no single forum that brings together the worlds experts in this key area of veterinary science. Throughout a highly scientific two-day programme, internationally renowned speakers from the USA, Canada and Europe shared their latest research results and hypotheses, sparking challenging debates related to the complex pathology, diagnosis and treatment of this condition. One of the highlights of the ICVS 2004 was the presentation identifying the synergies between the understanding of human heart disease and the canine condition. Professor Mark Starling, Medical Director of the Banner Baywood Heart Hospital, Arizona, USA provided an overview of his current work and findings in human mitral valve research, showing that sophisticated analyses of the sympathetic nervous system illustrate that the pathophysiology of canine and human mitral valve disease is quite similar.
