Hi Barb - I found the statement under "Degenerative Heart Disease" regarding 60% of all dogs being affected (with valvular deterioration) but not the one you mention about clinical signs of heart disease in 60% of dogs over 5 years. By the way - this is a wonderful practice. There are two cardiologists there, plus a cardio intern - super staff, very easy to work with. When we moved to Florida in June of 2000 this was the only cardio practice available in the entire state (no board cert cardio at the vet school!). The first time I went to the office, another breeder went with me so we booked apointments for 9 Cavaliers. The day before the apointments, one of the staff called to find out how large the Cavaliers were - it seems they had a very small waiting area and were afraid that there would not be room for all of the dogs if they were a large breed!
