Abstract
Using the simultaneous readings of the left ventricular remodeling model and the left ventricular weight to body weight ratio, the Gaasch and Zile classification was able to distinguish almost completely (95%) the dogs without pulmonary edema from those with pulmonary edema in cases of MMVD (myxomatous mitral valve disease) with an established limit for the left ventricular mass of 7.478 g/kg between the two groups. In one of the twenty animals surveyed, the classification failed. We assume that this is related to the exacerbation of the disease and the change of its chronic course due to an additional cause.
