| dc.description.abstract | This paper aims to review the current literature regarding Patent Ductus Arteriosus and
retrospectively study the disease over a 4-year period. This retrospective study provides insights
into PDA's presentation, management, and outcomes in dogs, further contributing to our
understanding of this congenital heart disease. Consistent with existing literature, our findings
demonstrated a strong female predisposition to PDA; this observation reinforced the wellestablished hypothesis that PDA is sex-linked. | en_US |
