How do heartworms affect dogs?

0

The worms lie within the chambers of the heart. If there are enough of them, they literally clog the chambers and interfere with the function of the heart’s valves. The effect is to decrease the production of the heart. To combat this, the heart muscle enlarges, in an attempt to improve its output. The eventual result is congestive heart failure.
