Generell informasjon
Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart disorder characterised by enlargement of the heart (especially of the left ventricle), poor myocardial contractility, and congestive heart failure. This variant of the disorder, known as Juvenile Dilated Cardiomyopathy (JDCM), occurs in young dogs of the Manchester Terrier and English Toy Terrier breeds. It is caused by a recessive disorder to the gene ABCC9. The disorder is severe, and can cause sudden death of juvenile affected dogs.
Kliniske egenskaper
Signs of congestive heart failure caused by DCM in affected dogs can include rapid or strained breathing while resting, restlessness, general weakness, decreased appetite and vomiting, pale gums and sudden death. Veterinary examination can provide a proper diagnosis. JDCM occurs in juvenile dogs, often before the age of 2 years.
