Marco Mazzarella, Geoff Culshaw (Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies) and their collaborator Natalie Jones (Queen's Medical Research Institute) from the University Edinburgh, were awarded BSAVA PetSavers funding in 2021 to study endothelial dysfunction canine myxomatous mitral valve disease.
To assess the feasibility of isometric myography in pet dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) to determine its use quantifying endothelial dysfunction.9 euthanized for medical reasons.Femoral, renal, and mesenteric arteries were collected postmortem stored physiological saline solution at 4 °C myography. Mitral valves scored degeneration (grades 1 4). Sections mounted wells, immersed perfused 95% O2 5% CO2 37 °C, stretched an internal circumference (IC) that generated maximal...
Results: The optimal AV delays averaged at 169&52 ms (83 -296 ms).There was a strong correlation between the real OptAVD and predicted values (R'=0.6452).The root mean square error two 44 ms.Conclusion: delay for CRT in DDD mode may be optimized same way as that VDD mode.The applicability of optimization algorithm to various atria1 therapy coniigurations electrode locations suggests timing ventricular stimulation is determined mainly by time intrinsic activation less affected activation.
