Heart health plays a crucial role in the overall well-being of our beloved pets. Among the most common heart conditions affecting dogs and, less frequently, cats is Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease (MMVD). This progressive disease targets the mitral valve in the heart, leading to significant health challenges. This blog delves into MMVD in dogs and cats, offering a compassionate and detailed exploration of its symptoms, stages, diagnosis, and treatment options, alongside the benefits of NHV supplements for heart health.
What is Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease (MMVD)?
In pets with MMVD, the valve thickens and loses its ability to close properly.
Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease, also known as MMVD, is a degenerative condition that primarily affects the mitral valve in the heart. This valve, located between the left atrium and the left ventricle, plays a critical role in regulating blood flow. In pets with MMVD, the valve thickens and loses its ability to close properly. This results in blood leaking backward (regurgitation) into the left atrium, impairing the heart’s efficiency and increasing its workload.
MMVD is more common in dogs than cats, particularly in small and medium-sized breeds such as Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Dachshunds, and Toy Poodles. While rare in cats, it can still occur, underscoring the importance of recognizing the disease across species. Without proper management, MMVD can lead to congestive heart failure (CHF), a potentially life-threatening condition.
Symptoms & Causes of MMVD
Symptoms of MMVD
The symptoms of Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease can vary depending on its stage but may include:
- Coughing (often worse at night or after exercise)
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Lethargy or reduced stamina during physical activities
- Loss of appetite and potential weight loss
- Fainting or collapsing episodes
- Swollen abdomen due to fluid accumulation (ascites)
Some pets may show subtle signs in the early stages, so routine veterinary check-ups are essential for early detection.
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of MMVD remains unknown, but several factors contribute to its development:
- Age: Older dogs are at a higher risk.
- Breed predisposition: Certain breeds are genetically predisposed to MMVD.
- Gender: Male dogs are slightly more prone to the disease.
- Obesity and poor diet: These can exacerbate heart issues.
In cats, MMVD is less common, but congenital factors or other underlying health conditions might trigger its onset.
Stages of MMVD
Veterinarians classify MMVD into four stages based on the progression of the disease:
- Stage A: Pets at risk but without clinical signs or structural changes.
- Stage B1: Pets with structural changes in the mitral valve but no symptoms.
- Stage B2: Structural changes are significant, with a heart murmur detected, but symptoms are still absent.
- Stage C: Symptoms of congestive heart failure appear, requiring medical management.
- Stage D: Advanced heart failure that may not respond well to treatment.
Understanding these stages helps veterinarians tailor treatments to the individual needs of the pet.
Diagnostic Tests for MMVD
Accurate diagnosis is vital to managing MMVD effectively. Common diagnostic tools include:
- Echocardiograms: An ultrasound of the heart, providing a detailed view of the mitral valve and heart function.
- Chest X-rays: To assess the size of the heart and detect fluid buildup in the lungs.
- Blood Tests: These can reveal biomarkers indicating heart disease and assess kidney and liver function, often impacted by heart issues.
- Electrocardiograms (ECG): Useful for detecting abnormal heart rhythms.
Regular monitoring with these tests ensures that the progression of MMVD is tracked, and treatments can be adjusted as needed.
Treatment Options for MMVD
While MMVD cannot be cured, various treatments can slow its progression and improve quality of life.
Medication
Some classes of medications that may be used are diuretics, which reduce fluid buildup in the lungs and abdomen. ACE inhibitors may be used to help relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure, reducing the heart’s workload. Finally, certain heart medications may be used to strengthen the heart muscles and improve its efficiency.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Holistic lifestyle adjustments for pets with MMVD include weight management and dietary changes. Maintaining a healthy weight can significantly reduce the heart’s workload. Dietary changes, including low-sodium diets and heart-supportive foods can benefit pets with MMVD. Consult an expert pet nutritionist and your veterinarian before making diet changes for pets with special needs.
Regular Veterinary Check-Ups
Frequent monitoring and timely adjustments to treatment plans are crucial in managing the disease effectively.

What is Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease in Dogs and Cats?
Cardiovascular (cardiac) disease is an umbrella term for conditions in your furkid’s circulatory system (blood vessels and especially the heart). Because of this, they are also commonly known as heart diseases.
Over 10% of furkiddos have some kind of cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, the diseases progress over time if not treated in the early stages. This may eventually lead to heart failure and may even be fatal. That’s why seeking help from veterinary cardiologists is important. You should also visit a vet as soon as you notice clinical signs of heart disease in your beloved furkid.
Symptoms of Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease in Dogs and Cats
There are many types of cardiovascular disease in dogs and cats, and they all show different, particular symptoms. The symptoms may also vary in various breeds and species.
But here are some general signs you should watch out for:
- Difficulty breathing
- Coughing persistently
- Depression
- Abnormal weight changes
- Fatigue and restlessness
- Swollen abdomen
- Loss of appetite
- Collapsing or fainting
Discovering, diagnosing, and treating heart disease sooner can help minimize the damage it causes to your cat or dog’s heart. So, we would like to reiterate the importance of vet consultation and full body examination upon seeing these symptoms.
Common Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease in Dogs and Cats
Let’s learn some common types of heart disease or cardiovascular disease in dogs and cats:
- Valvular disease - when heart valves don’t open or close normally, causing an enlarged heart
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) - when the heart muscle thickens
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) - when the muscle in the heart weakens
- Arrhythmias - when the heart beats irregularly
- Congenital heart disease - when furkiddos’ heart anomalies are present at birth
- Heartworm disease - when a parasite infests your little one and attacks their arteries, lungs, and heart
- Pericardial disease - when too much fluid builds up and hinders the proper pumping of blood
Sadly, most heart disease in cats and dogs are incurable. But with treatment and natural support, you can help your little one live a longer and happier life!
How NHV Remedies Support Cardiovascular Disease in Dogs and Cats
Our Cardiovascular Super Support Health Kit can support your little one while taking vet-prescribed medication.
Hearty-Heart, as the name suggests, is our primary support for cardiovascular or heart disease in cats and dogs. The extract supports furkiddos’ cardiovascular system, promotes heart health, and helps with symptoms of cardiovascular disease. The herbs in this formula are well known to help with various heart related symptoms. For example, the herb Pulsatilla helps relieve the constant coughing, restlessness, and respiratory issues that furkids with cardiac disease may experience.
Various other herbs in the supplement, like motherwort, help strengthen your little one’s heart and circulatory system. Hawthorn, in particular, is a well-known heart and vascular tonic. It is often recommended for furriends with heart disease. This herb also may strengthen cardiovascular structures and functions. All the herbs work synergistically to create a balanced formula that is safe to use long-term to support the cardiovascular system.
Another supplement added to the kit is Turmeric. Turmeric is also beneficial for cardiovascular health. The main compound in Turmeric is called curcumin. In addition to supporting the cardiovascular system, curcumin is high in antioxidant properties and may be helpful in scavenging free radicals as well as helping to reduce inflammation.
And what does inflammation have to do with cardiac health?
Inflammation is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disorders because it may cause blood clots. Therefore, if we reduce inflammation in our furriends, it may protect them from having cardiovascular disease too. That’s why Turmeric can serve as a proactive support for heart disease in dogs and cats.
