Tratamento de insuficiência cardíaca com benazepril em cães com cardiomiopatia dilatada e endocardiose

Abstract: Foram avaliados os efeitos clínicos do benazepril, um inibidor da enzima de conversão da angiotensina de ação prolongada, em cães com insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (ICC) secundária à endocardiose de mitral ou cardiomiopatia dilatada. O medicamento foi administrado na dose de 0,25 a 0,5mg/kg/dia. Diuréticos, digitálicos e fármacos antiarrítmicos foram usados de acordo com a necessidade de cada paciente. Exames físico, radiográfico e eletrocardiográfico foram realizados nos dias 0, 7, 28 e 56. A gasometria a… Show more

“…Serum sodium and potassium revealed a decline in the animals treated with furosemide, due to increased excretion caused by the medicine (Pereira 1996). Among animals that received enalapril maleate, it was shown no significant increase of serum potassium (Waltkins et al 1976), probably due to the actions of SRAA, leading to decreased excretion of potassium, with the increase of these values in a benefic way, as reported by Ettinger et al (1998), Maranhão et al (1988) and Pereira et al (2005).…”

“…Due to these findings, drug therapy [24] was chosen with the use of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, benazepril, at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg for the treatment of heart failure, aiming at the relaxation of the right ventricle and, consequently, improvement in the transvalvar gradient [25]. Pharmacological blockade of ACE-activated hormones or their metabolic pathways prolongs survival in patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).…”

“…Such alterations are similar to echocardiographic findings in human PD patients, in which pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, reduced RV systolic function, biatrial enlargement, aortic insufficiency, mitral and tricuspid insufficiency and shunts were reported. However, the severity of these varied changes in each case according to the degree of the change and the presence of other pathologies [15,23].Due to these findings, drug therapy [24] was chosen with the use of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, benazepril, at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg for the treatment of heart failure, aiming at the relaxation of the right ventricle and, consequently, improvement in the transvalvar gradient [25].

“…Em outras palavras, a ativação do simpático sobre o coração resulta em aumento da frequência cardíaca (FC) e força de contração do músculo cardíaco(ERICKSON, 2006). diminuição da síntese de óxido nítrico e inativação da bradicinina pela ECA, induzindo à uma hiperplasia, hipertrofia e apoptose das células musculares da parede dos vasos(PEREIRA et. al, 2005; TRALDI JUNIOR, 2008).Além da sua ação vasodilatadora, a bradicinina também tem ação inibitória sobre o crescimento e proliferação celular.…”
