Translating a complex clinical consensus into an everyday tool
Myxomatous mitral valve disease is the most frequent acquired heart disease in small elderly dogs, with a delicate clinical progression, associated cardiac and pulmonary complications and a therapeutic decision that must be adjusted to each patient's condition. The international ACVIM clinical criteria and the recognised veterinary guidelines provide the frame of reference, but consulting them in the veterinarian's day-to-day is slow and scattered across specialised literature, protocols and data sheets. CEVA was looking for a digital tool that would bring together all the advanced clinical knowledge in a visual, intuitive format, capable of supporting professionals in diagnosis, classification and the therapeutic decision.
