    Cardiovascular diseases occur frequently in dogs, especially in older dogs (> 7 years). This is the case with myxomatous valvular degeneration (mvd), which is an acquired disease whose hallmark is the presence of audible murmurs on auscultation. The aim of this research was to analyze the demographic influence on outcomes of patients with drug treatment and hyponatraemic dvm diets. We worked with 60 patients weighing up to 15 kg, females and males, whole or neutered, between 6-15 years of age who had the disease in stage B and C requiring medication and dietary support. An initial sample was taken of electrolytes (Na, Cl and K), blood count, total protein, urine specific gravity and creatinine, and imaging tests (radiology, echocardiography and electrocar diography) were performed; the animals were subsequently divided into
    three study groups of 20 patients each who were pharmacologically medicated with enalapril and spironolactone (Cardial®) and each was assigned a different diet (Mixed and concentrated Diet, Hill’s H / d and Hill’s®K / d®). The results showed that patients who were given hyponatremic diets had better clinical behavior and a higher survival rate. Patients whose owners belonged to lower socioeconomic levels also lacked the economic capacity to manage their pets using these diets, which affected the health of the patients, whose mortality rate was very high (90%).
