Prognostic value of mitral annular systolic plane excursion and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (2018)
Journal Article
Spalla, I., Payne, J. R., Borgeat, K. A., Fuentes, V. L., & Connolly, D. J. (2018). Prognostic value of mitral annular systolic plane excursion and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Journal of Veterinary Cardiology, 20(3), 154-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvc.2018.04.005

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has a variable prognosis; left atrial size, presence of clinical signs and left ventricular systolic function have been shown to predict outcomes. Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and tricuspid annular...

Inter-observer variability for cardiac ultrasound measurements in cats repeated at different time points in early adult life (2018)
Journal Article
Van Hoek, I., Payne, J. R., Feugier, A., & Connolly, D. J. (2018). Inter-observer variability for cardiac ultrasound measurements in cats repeated at different time points in early adult life. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vas.2018.03.002

Abstract A high degree of accuracy is required when using echocardiography to diagnose hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats, as variation in measurements of 0.5 mm may affect classification of individuals as ‘abnormal’. This study in adult cats... Read More about Inter-observer variability for cardiac ultrasound measurements in cats repeated at different time points in early adult life.

Pericardial effusion associated with systemic inflammatory disease in seven dogs (January 2006 – January 2012) (2018)
Journal Article
Covey, H. L., & Connolly, D. J. (2018). Pericardial effusion associated with systemic inflammatory disease in seven dogs (January 2006 – January 2012). Journal of Veterinary Cardiology, 20(2), 123-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvc.2017.11.002

Pericardial effusion (PE) is reported in dogs as a consequence of neoplasia, primary cardiac disease or as an idiopathic condition. We describe seven dogs with systemic inflammatory disease, PE without tamponade and increased cardiac troponin I conce...
