Projectomschrijving

Cardiac valvular regurgitation is frequently found in sport horses, especially at the mitral and aortic valves. New tissue Doppler imaging, and biochemical blood examination for cardiac biomarkers will be used to quantify valvular regurgitation and to identify prognostic parameters.
