dc.description.abstract	A 1-year-old castrated male Beagle hound was evaluated for multiple congenital cardiac defects, including reverse (right-to-left shunting) patent ductus arteriosus (rPDA) secondary to pulmonary hypertension (PH) and tricuspid valve dysplasia (TVD). The patient presented with a Grade 5/6 right apical systolic murmur, but was clinically normal. The co-existence of such profound cardiac abnormalities serves as a unique case study of canine congenital heart disease. This case illustrates that some severe heart diseases, such as rPDA, may not be associated with a murmur and that the patient can often compensate well in the face of multiple, severe cardiac abnormalities. Furthermore, this case underscores the diagnostic usefulness of echocardiography in the cardiologic evaluation.	en_US
