Signs of congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs

In the early stages, signs of atrioventricular valvular insufficiency (AVVI) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are most likely to be subclinical. This preclinical phase can last for months or years. However, as the heart deteriorates and cardiac output decreases over time, AVVI and DCM ultimately lead to congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs.

Common clinical signs of CHF that may appear as AVVI or DCM progresses include:

  • Coughing
  • Changes in breathing
    • Difficulty breathing
    • Shortness of breath
    • Increased respiratory rate
  • Changes in behavior
    • Lack of energy
    • Depressed or withdrawn
  • Exercise intolerance
    • Reluctance to go for walks
    • Tires easily
  • Poor appetite and weight loss
  •  and fainting
  • Restlessness, especially at night

As soon as clinical signs of CHF appear, therapeutic intervention is indicated. No cure for CHF exists and surgical intervention is rarely practical in canine patients, so therapeutic goals focus on improving clinical signs and prolonging life.
