We refer you to our informative and instructional Webinar on the EPIC Guidelines in our FASTVet Webinar Library so you can learn how to perform the echocardiography evaluation mandated by the EPIC Guidelines for beginning Pimobendan prior to clinical signs of left-sided failure by finding BOTH the LA is enlarged (>1.6, LA:Ao) and the Left Ventricle in Diastole is enlarged using the Normalization Chart with allometric scaling for body weight (LVIDdN is >1.7). Learn the echocardiography arm of the EPIC Guidelines for declaring a MVVD dog to be stage B2.
The LINK to the EPIC Guidelines website is here.
Join FASTVet and learn how to perform the EPIC Guideline Measurements and implement this imaging on a daily basis on all your mitral murmur dogs that are pre-failure.
