Show Notes
In this VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we review the use of pimobendan in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve degeneration (MMVD). Pimobendan (commonly known as Vetmedin in the United States) is a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor and calcium sensitizer. It is commonly used as a therapy for congestive heart failure and is often referred to as an “inodilator” due to its positive inotropic and peripheral vasodilatory mechanisms of action.
