How is congestive heart failure caused by MMVD normally treated?
Treatment of MMVD-based congestive heart failure generally takes place when clear symptoms of heart failure emerge1, and is tailored for the individual canine patient and their owner.1 Since surgery to prevent further deterioration is rarely possible in canine patients, management of heart failure seeks to improve quality of life and extend life expectancy1, usually through daily medication.
