Echocardiography is a standard diagnostic tool for assessment of cardiac functions and cardiovascular diseases in dogs, however published echocardiographic measurements have varied widely based on dog breeds. The objective of this prospective reference interval study was to provide breed-specific echocardiographic values for healthy French Bulldogs. A total of 42 healthy French Bulldogs of both sexes (23 females and 19 males) were sampled. Furthermore, measurements for a control group (n = 16) were also conducted in four other dog breeds (Cocker Spaniel [n = 2], Cavalier King Charles Spaniel [n = 4], Terrier [n = 5], and Crossbreed [n = 5]). Standard M-mode, two-dimensional (2D), pulse wave (PW) Doppler, and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) echocardiographic measurements were obtained from healthy French Bulldogs. The M-mode echocardiographic data obtained from French Bulldogs were compared to the data obtained from the control group. The left ventricular internal dimension at end-diastole (LVIDd; cm)/body surface area (BSA) (m 2) ratio for the study group was 3.35/0.53 = 6.32. Left ventricular measurements for French bulldogs and internal dimension at end-systole (21.23 ± 3.50 mm) and at end-diastole (33.50 ± 4.12 mm) were found to be significantly higher (P < .001) compared to control group values (left ventricular internal dimension at end-systole [LVIDs]; 17.46 ± 2.85 mm, LVIDd; 27.16 ± 4.20 mm, respectively). A significantly positive correlation in the French Bulldog group was noted between body weight and M-mode measurements (EPSS, IVSd, IVSs, LVIDd, LVIDs, and LVPWd). French bulldogs had a greater systolic and diastolic left ventricular volume than the control group. As a result, values reported in this study could be used as specific reference ranges in French Bulldogs.
Özet: Bu olgu sunumunun amacı bir rahvan koşu atındaki aortik regürgitasyonun klinik ve ekokardiyografik olarak değerlendirilmesidir. Olgunun materyalini egzersiz sonrası hırıltılı solunum şikayeti ile ERÜ Veteriner Fakültesi Eğitim, Uygulama ve Araştırma Hastanesi kliniklerine getirilen 4 yaşlı, erkek bir rahvan koşu atı oluşturdu. Atın klinik ve hematolojik muayenesinde herhangi bir patolojiye rastlanmadı. Yapılan ekokardiyografik muayenede aort kapak bölgesinde birinci derece regürgitasyon ve aortik kapak bölgesinde regürgitant jet belirlendi. Anahtar kelimeler: Aortik regürgitasyon, at, ekokardiyografi Case of Aortic Regurgitation in a Amble Racehorse Summary: The aim of the case report is evaluation of aortic regurgitation as clinical and echocardiographic in a Amble racehorse. The material of the case consisted of a 4-year-old male amble racehorse who was brought to ERU Veterinary Faculty Training, Research and Application Hospital clinics with wheezing symptoms after exercise. No pathology was detected in the clinical and hematological examination of the horse. Echocardiographic examination revealed firstdegree regurgitation of the aortic valve region and aortic regurgitant jet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
