4년령의 수컷 골든 리트리버 견이 복부 팽만 및 호흡곤란을 주증상으로 내원하였으며, 신체 검사 결과 부정맥과 심잡음이 청진되었다. 흉복부 방사선 검사 결과 전반적인 심비대, 흉수 및 복수가 관찰되었다. 심초음파 검사에서 비정상적인 승모판 및 삼첨판의 움직임과 역류가 관찰되었으며, 좌심실의 편심성 비대와 좌심방 비대가 보였다. 컬러 도플러 영상에서 확장기에 승모판 입구로부터 좌심실로 유입되는 와류가 관찰되었으며, 수축기에는 좌심방 및 우심방으로의 와류가 보였다. 도플러 검사로 확장기 승모판 유입 속도가 매우 증가하였으며 pressure half time이 지연되었다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 심초음파 검사 결과에 기초하여 승모판 협착증과 병발된 승모판 이형성증과 삼첨판 이형성증을 진단하였다.

A four month-old intact female Maltese (weighing 1.8 kg) was present with major complaints of severe coughing and dyspnea. Diagnostic imaging studies revealed abnormally elongated chordae tendineae attached to anterior leaflet and shortened chordae tendineae attached to posterior leaflet of mitral valve causing mitral insufficiency and regurgitant blood flow into left atrium, indicating congenital mitral valve dysplasia. Therapy was directed to control existing clinical signs and to prevent further deterioration of cardiac enlargement using conventional cardiac medications. The dog is currently survived and being monitored at regular interval. This is the first case report describing mitral valve dysplasia causing mitral insufficiency of dog in Korea.

An intact female, 2 month old, domestic short hair cat, weighing 0.82kg with a history of respiratory distress, anorexia, and depression for 3 days was referred. In laboratory examination, there were no remarkable abnormalities. Radiographic findings mainly included pleural effusion, dilation of pulmonary vessels, pulmonary edema, and ascites. Echocardiography showed dilation of four cardiac chambers, malformation of the tricuspid and mitral valve, and atrioventricular valve regurgitant jet flow. The cat was euthanized by client's request and confirmed to the tricuspid and mitral valve dysplasia by necropsy and histopathologic examination.

A castrated, 6-year-old, male Turkish Angora cat with a history of respiratory distress was referred to the hospital. Physical examination revealed a cardiac murmur, and thoracic radiographic findings revealed pleural effusion and cardiomegaly. Echocardiography showed abnormality of the tricuspid and mitral valve, and color-flow Doppler imaging revealed regurgitation between both atrium and ventricle. Based on the echocardiographic examination, tricuspid valve dysplasia concurrent with mitral valve dysplasia was diagnosed. However, the patient died a week after treatment. In necropsy, bilateral atrioventricular valve dysplasia and left ventricular hypertrophy were confirmed. This is the first report to describe a middle age Turkish angora cat having bilateral atrioventricular valve dysplasia which has high mortality and only been reported rarely in cats. This case report also describes its clinical signs, diagnostic imaging findings, treatment and discussions how the patient could live long.

A 1-year-old castrated male Schnauzer dog was presented with heart murmur. Auscultation revealed systolic murmur located at the left heart base (grade 5/6). There were no remarkable findings on thoracic radiographs. Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed subaortic tunnel-like obstruction at the entrance to the left ventricular outflow tract. Anterior mitral valve leaflet appeared to be tethered to septum with minimal motion. Chordae tendineae was abnormally thickened. Color Doppler analysis revealed turbulent flow starting below the aortic valve. Mitral regurgitation was presented during systole. Spectral Doppler recordings revealed high velocity flow through the aorta and mitral regurgitation. Based on echocardiographic examination, the dog was diagnosed with subaortic stenosis concurrent with mitral dysplasia. The patient was medicated with ${\beta}-blocker$ and diuretics. It has been doing well without apparent clinical signs at 2 year after the diagnosis.

좌심방 부속기 동맥류는 심장 빗살근의 선천성 이형성이나 승모판 또는 심근의 후천적 병변에 의해 생길 수 있는 매우 드문 심장 질환이다. 주로 흉부 CT나 심초음파에서 좌심방이 비정상적 팽창되어 우연히 발견되며, 환자의 대부분은 무증상이지만 생명을 위협하는 합병증과 관련이 있어 외과적 치료를 필요로 한다. 그러므로 정확한 진단과 함께 이에 동반된 합병증을 찾아내는 것은 중요하다. 본 증례 보고에서는 수술적 치료로 확진 된 53세 여성의 좌심방 부속기 동맥류를 소개하고 병태생리학을 바탕으로 진단과 함께 놓치지 말아야 할 합병증에 대한 CT 및 MRI 검사의 소견을 소개하고자 한다.
