"Valve dysplasia" refers to an abnormality or malformation of the valves in the body. These valves are important because they help regulate the flow of fluids (such as blood) through various parts of the body. When there is
valve dysplasia, it means that one or more of these valves are not formed or functioning correctly. This can lead to problems with the flow of fluids and potentially cause health issues.

We were so fortunate to have Jacob treat our beloved yellow lab, Bailey during her courageous battle with
Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia.
Heart murmurs are «swooshing» sounds created by turbulent blood flow and are most commonly associated with diseases that affect the heart valves such as degenerative valve disease,
AV valve dysplasia, pulmonic stenosis however, disease that do not primarily affect the valves such as dilated cardiomyopathy may secondarily cause a murmur by stretching apart the valve leaflets causing them to leak as the heart enlarges.
Most congenital cardiac defects are present from birth or near birth and include conditions such as septal defects (atrial and ventricular),
valve dysplasias, and congenital cardiomyopathies.
Mitral
valve dysplasia is a common congenital cardiac defect in cats and MVD is the leading cause of death in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
Great Danes are also susceptible to osteosarcoma, dilated cardiomyopathy, tricuspid
valve dysplasia, mitral valve defects, patent ductus arteriosus, and subaortic stenosis.
Other heart diseases, such as TVD (tricuspid
valve dysplasia) are present at birth, although outwardly the puppy may appear normal in all ways.
Delta has Tricuspid
Valve Dysplasia and visits us regularly to have fluid removed from his abdomen -LSB-...]
Although not significantly so, mitral
valve dysplasia and portosystemic shunt had relatively high prevalence in intact dogs compared to the prevalence seen for all other conditions.
Mitral
valve dysplasia is a congenital malformation of the valve that closes between the left atrium and left ventricle to prevent backflow of blood when the heart beats.
Despite treatments with medication and exercise restriction, the life expectancy for pets with either mitral or tricuspid
valve dysplasia can be as short as 1 - 3 years, depending on the severity of the malformation.

Occasionally, Labs can also suffer from exercise - induced collapse, muscular dystrophy, diabetes, tricuspid
valve dysplasia, hot spots, cataract, hypothyroidism, and retinal dysplasia.
Many also do heart screens checking for TVD (Tricuspid
valve dysplasia).
[12] Vizslas can also suffer from hypothyroidism, dwarfism, persistent right aortic arch, tricuspid
valve dysplasia, and progressive retinal atrophy.
As it turns out, she has tricuspid
valve dysplasia.
Despite the fact that the Labrador seems to be strong and athletic, it can suffer from several health problems such as: Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia, Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD), Cataracts, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Epilepsy, Tricuspid
Valve Dysplasia (TVD), Myopathy, Gastric Dilataion - Volvulus, Acute Moist Dermatitis, Cold Tail or Ear Infections.
With this panel, we can identify, or rule out, multiple diseases inherited in Labradors, such as hip dysplasia, ruptured anterior (cranial) cruciate ligament, mast cell tumor, T and B - cell lymphoma, posterior polar cataracts, liver disease, laryngeal paralysis, degenerative myelopathy, epilepsy, tricuspid
valve dysplasia and obesity.
Heart disease (tricuspid
valve dysplasia) and epilepsy have become serious concerns in Labrador Retrievers.
Yet another frequently diagnosed congenital cardiac disorder in cats is mitral
valve dysplasia (MVD).
See GENETICS: Inherited Cardiovascular Disorders for the following disorders: Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Atrial Septal Defect (ASD & PFO) Dilated Cardiomyopathy Mitral
Valve Dysplasia Mitral / Tricuspid Regurgitation Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Persistent Right Aortic Arch (Vascular Ring Anoma) Portosystemic Shunt Pulmonic Stenosis Sick Sinus Syndrome Subaortic Stenosis Tetralogy of Fallot Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
According to Marc Kraus, DVM, a senior lecturer in the department of clinical sciences at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine, the most commonly diagnosed among these disorders are: ventricular septal defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and mitral
valve dysplasia (MVD).
The most common defects in other species are as follows: cattle — ventricular septal defect, ectopic heart, and ventricular hypoplasia; sheep — ventricular septal defect; pigs — tricuspid
valve dysplasia, atrial septal defect, and subaortic stenosis; horses — ventricular septal defect, PDA, tetralogy of Fallot, and tricuspid atresia.
A condition called Tricuspid
Valve Dysplasia (TVD) is still rare but may be on the rise with Labrador Retrievers.
Other health concerns include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, ear infections, cold tail, acute moist dermatitis, myopathy, tricuspid
valve dysplasia, epilepsy, progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts, and osteochondrosis dissecans.
