An interventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis and bicuspid pulmonary valve in a Welsh pony foal.

A 6 month Welsh pony filly with an interventricular septal defect in conjunction with a pulmonary stenosis due to a bicuspid pulmonary valve is described. The animal had poor exercise tolerance, a loud pansystolic murmur and a precordial thrill. Blood pressure and oxygen tension values obtained during cardiac catheterization suggested the diagnosis which was confirmed at autopsy.
