HSP Test-Specific Data
Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America
Sub-aortic stenosis has been reported in the breed.
A Cardiac Evaluation (One of the following) - Advanced Cardiac Exam or a Congenital Cardiac Exam with exam by cardiologist is required to receive a CHIC number.
Age: first exam by 12 months
Age recommended: every 2 years
PROVIDER/HOW TO: Have your dog tested, and then submit the appropriate Congenital Cardiac form signed by the cardiologist to OFA. NOTE: Recently OFA has stated this cardiac test may not be reliable for diagnosing subaortic stenosis or cardiomyopathy. If you suspect there are dogs in your pedigree with these issues, consider a trip to the cardiologist for additional testing, i.e., echocardiography with Doppler.
