“…Haematology revealed slightly fall in haemoglobin (10.13±0.59 g/dl), PCV (31.67±0.66 per cent) and neutrophilia (15647.33±1464.78) when compared to controle dogs (Hb12.27±0.45 g/dl, PCV 36.30±1.28 per cent, neutrophill count (7819.4±294.75), this might be due to inappetance and anorexia, neutrophilic leukocytosis might be attributed to inflammatory reaction possibly associated with increased levels of TNF and IL1 reported by Singh et al, (2014) and19.82±0.62 u/l respectively), this might be due to organ congestion due to low cardiac output in dogs with CHF . Radiographic findings were plural effusions and pericardial effusions 50 per cent each and cardiomegaly 25 per cent (1/4).…”

Four dogs (3 male, 1 female) of age 5 to 14 years were presented to the small animal medicine ward of N.T.R Gannavaram during the period of June 2014 to April 2015with a history of Lethergy, poor exercise tolerance, respiratory distress and abdominal distention and inappetence . Physical examination findings revealed tachycardia, tachypnoea, muffled heart sounds, ascites and pale mucous membranes. Haematology revealed slightly fall in haemoglobin, PCV and neutrophilia. Serum biochemistry findings were increased levels of ALT, creatinine and CKMB. Thoracic radiopgraphy revealed plural effusions, pericardial effusions and cardiomegaly. Electrocardiographic findings were sinus tachycardia, low R amplitude and ventricular premature contractions. M-mode echocardiography revealed a highly significant elevation in values of LA/AO and significant elevation in values of EDV and ESV was observed in dogs with pericardial effusions. Whereas the decrease in LVIDd, LVIDs, LVPWd, LVPWs, IVSd , IVSs and EPSS observed was statistically non significant. Two dimensional Echocardiographic evaluation of the heart was recognized as anechoic space between the epicardium and pericardium. The anechoic effusion was surrounded the heart within the pericardium.

“…Haematological parameters revealed significant increase in neutrophil count in affected dogs as compared to control. This increase attributed to inflammatory reaction associated with increased level of TNF and IL-1 (Singh et al, 2014) or due to concurrent secondary bacterial infection of respiratory tract (Venkatesakumar et al, 2018). Significant increment in Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) with mean value (291.65-586.47 IU/l) was recorded (except systolic dysfunction), in contrast to control group animals as shown in Fig 1 . Elevated LDH may be due to limited skeletal muscle blood flow in patients with cardiac diseases leading to low cardiac output and increased peripheral resistance and muscle degeneration (Indhu et al, 2018).…”

Background: Cardiac diseases defined as structural, functional, mechanical and electrical abnormality of heart. Characterization of different cardiac diseases in dogs prevalent in North Indian conditions is least studied. Methods: Out of total 2582 registered dogs, 41 were suspected for cardiac diseases based on clinical signs. Further confirmation and characterization was done by electrocardiography, radiography, echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers. Statistical analysis was done through SPSS 23. Result: Present study inferred, Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) as the most prevalent cardiac affection. Left ventricular dilation, interventricular septum thinning, increased E point septal separation and left atrial enlargement were characteristic echocardiographic indices in DCM. Echocardiographic indices in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were increased interventricular septum, left ventricular posterior wall and reduced left ventricular lumen. Labrador retriever found to be most predisposed breed for DCM while Rottweiler reported to be most affected with pericardial effusion. Cardiac Troponin-I (cTnI) was statistically (p less than 0.05) increased in all cardiac categories with cut off value above 92 ng/l indicating cardiac affection, while Lactate dehydrogenase serve as screening biochemical marker with significant increase in all the cardiac cases ranging from 291 IU/l to 586.4 IU/l.

“…A transducer was placed on the dependent side of the body through the slit at a point where the strongest palpable apex beat was felt. Transcutaneous 2D echocardiography examination of the heart was carried out according to the method describe by Singh et al (23). 2D and Mmode echocardiography were performed using a Sonoscape A5V ultrasound unit with a 3.5MHZ transducer.…”

The Egyptian domestic (Baladi) dog has been increasingly adopted as a companion animal. Breed-specific cardiovascular reference intervals (RIs) are useful for clinicians in identifying abnormalities. The study aimed to estimate RIs for different heart indices in healthy male Baladi dogs. Twenty-six dogs were recruited to the study. Dogs were approved to be healthy. Afterwards, they were consciously examined by electrocardiography, echocardiography, and radiography. RIs were estimated using a bias-corrected bootstrapping approach. Electrocardiographic RIs were heart rate: 103 – 132 (beats/minute); P: 0.02 - 0.04, T: 0.03 - 0.04 waves durations (seconds); P: 0.13 - 0.23, R: 1.19 - 1.51, T: 0.20 - 0.27 waves amplitudes (mV); and PR: 0.11 - 0.17, QRS: 0.06 - 0.08, QT: 0.41 - 0.44 intervals (seconds). Echocardiographic parameters included end (diastolic: 29.95 - 46.49, systolic: 5.54 - 10.32) volumes (ml); ejection fraction: 76.23 - 83.41 (%); stroke volume 25.13 - 37.41 (ml); fractional shortening: 0.43 - 0.51 (%); interventricular septal thickness (diastole: 7.61 - 8.55; systole: 12.19 - 14.12 mm); left atrial to aortic root ratio (0.98 - 1.06); left ventricular diameter (diastole: 27.86 - 33.34, systole:14.42 - 18.14 mm) and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (diastole: 9.71 - 13.5; systole: 14.73 - 18.33 mm). Right lateral radiographs heart axes (long: 5.31 - 5.67, short 3.67 - 4.03 vertebrae) and VHS: 9.04 - 9.64 (vertebrae). No significant associations were identified between the measurements and body weight, age, and heart rate. In conclusions our results emphasized the importance of establishing Baladi‐specific RIs.
