Pulmonary artery pressure is one of the most important parameter for evaluating the status of pulmonary vascular bed for patients of PDA, which helps in formulating treatment strategy. This study was carried out in National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases and Hospital (NICVD) and National Centre for Control of Rheumatic Fever and Heart Diseases, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Pulmonary artery pressure was recorded noninvasively using Doppler echocardiography and the it was correlated with those obtained from haemodynamic studies done at cardiac catheterization. Estimation of pulmonary artery pressure using Doppler derived measurement of pressure gradient across patent ductus arteriosus correlated well with that of simultaneous catheterization measured values. Doppler echocardiography is a cheap, simple, noninvasive bedside test for measuring pulmonary artery systolic and diastolic pressure in patient with PDA.

The ductus arteriosus is an arterial shunt between the aorta and a pulmonary artery, physiological during fetal development, during this period it shunts away part of the blood circulation that would go to the lungs, which at that moment are still afunctional. After birth, there is a physiological closure of this duct, its non-occlusion is called persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA), which is treated surgically. We report the clinical case of a female canine of the German dwarf spitz breed that was diagnosed with PDA in a routine pediatric pre-vaccination consultation. Doppler echocardiography was then performed with confirmation of PDA. Treatment consisted of surgical correction using the standard technique of ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus. The procedure was successful with the patient's recovery.
