CEVA Santé Animale is one of the three veterinary pharmaceutical companies with the highest growth worldwide, present in more than 110 countries. In the canine cardiology field, the degenerative disease of the mitral valve (MMVD) is the most frequent acquired heart disease in small dogs of advanced age, and its diagnosis, classification, and treatment require the veterinarian to combine anatomical knowledge, clinical judgment, and constant updating with recognized veterinary guidelines. To support the professional in this process, CEVA has developed, together with Imascono Health, an interactive infographic that brings together all the clinical knowledge about MMVD and its treatment with Cardalis in a single application.
Translating a complex clinical consensus into an everyday tool
Mitral valve degenerative disease is the most common acquired heart disease in small dogs of advanced age, with a delicate clinical progression, associated cardiac and pulmonary complications, and a therapeutic decision that must be adjusted according to the individual patient's condition. The ACVIM international clinical criteria and recognized veterinary guidelines provide the framework, but their consultation in the daily practice of veterinarians is slow and scattered among specialized literature, protocols, and technical sheets. CEVA sought a digital tool that would bring together all advanced clinical knowledge in a visual and intuitive format, capable of assisting the professional in diagnosis, classification, and therapeutic decision-making.
