Abstract

A 7-month-old 8.2 kg female Siberian Husky with history of exercise intolerance, delayed growth, and tachypnea was presented to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Kyungpook National University. A holosystolic murmur was identified in cardiac ausculation. In electrocardiography, thoracic radiographs, and ultrasonography, a right axis deviation, enlarged right ventricle, stenotic main pulmonary artery, large ventricular septal defect, marked right ventricle hypertrophy, and overriding aorta with dilation were identified. The color Doppler examination showed the left-to-right shunting of blood via interventricular septal defect and the blood flow streams converging from the right and left ventricles into the aorta. The dog was diagnosed as tetralogy of Fallot. The current state of the dog is well-tolerated without any specific medication.
