5 month old Shih Tzu

By

Today’s case is a 5 month old female Shih Tzu with a heart murmur. What is your top differential diagnosis?

Comments

  1. It is clear to me that the heart is moderately enlarged and that there is a bulge in the pulmonary artery, but it also looks to me as though there is some left atrial tenting, is this the case?

  2. This may not be an answer that you are looking for. In a case of the left atrial tenting, should we see some elevation of the left main-stem bronchus on lateral projection with bowed main-stem bronchi on DV view?
