Effect of pimobendan on left atrial function in dogs with preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease
Background: Left atrial (LA) function is an important determinant of left ventricular (LV) filling, playing a key role in maintaining optimal cardiac performance. Pimobendan is a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor with positive inotropic and vasodilator effects. The present study sought to investigate...
