Abstract Background Evaluation of left heart size helps determine disease severity in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). Hypothesis/Objectives Determine the ability of radiographic vertebral heart size (VH...

OBJECTIVE: Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is emerging one of the cause of chronic renal failure and end-stage renal disease. The vast majority of cases in elderly are due to atherosclerotic disease. The prevalence of RAS in...

In this study; the plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), low-density lipoprotein phospholipid (LDL-P), highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), high...

Abstract Background The pathophysiology of heart failure involves maladaptive angiotensin peptides (APs) and enzymes, including angiotensin 2 (AT2) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), as well as recently described a...

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of cardiac problems, including myocardial iron deposition, pericarditis, and valvular abnormalities, among people with β-thalassemia and to shed light on the distribution of β-thal...

Abstract Increased protein acetylation is frequently observed in the failing heart, including in hearts with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, its role in the pathogenesis of HFpEF remains ...

Abstract Background The clinical relevance of echocardiographic measurements of right heart size and function in dogs with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is unknown. Objective To determine if echocardiographic measurements ...

Background Studies indicate that antibodies cross-reacting with cardiac β1 adrenergic receptors are likely to play a role in the development of chronic Chagas heart disease (CCHD). In parallel, clinical trials have show...

Abstract Background There is little evidence on the association between cooking with polluting fuels, particularly charcoal, and heart disease from low- and middle-income countries, which have the highest burdens of poll...

Abstract Background Studies describing the clinical progression of animals with reverse patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are lacking. Objectives To describe the signalment, presenting signs, echocardiographic features, and...

Abstract Background Phantom tumour, also known as a vanishing tumour or fissural pseudotumor, is an uncommon condition that represents a localized, transudative, loculated interlobar pleural effusion. It occurs predomina...

Abstract Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is linked to cardiovascular outcomes such as cardiac amyloidosis, but prior studies with limited scope leave uncertainty about its role as an marker of other major cardiovascular dis...

There are multiple receptors for vasopressin (ADH) named the V1a, V1b, and V2 receptors. The V2 receptors primarily mediate the antidiuretic response, while V1a and V1b receptors principally cause vasoconstriction and me...

Abstract Background Angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are commonly prescribed in dogs, but the ideal dosage is unknown. Hypothesis/Objectives In dogs with cardiac disease, a dose‐response relationship ...

Acute heart failure (AHF) requires immediate intervention, with diuretics central to managing volume overload. We conducted a prospective single-arm study to explore changes in diuretic and renal outcomes following initi...

Abstract Background The Evaluation of pimobendan in dogs with cardiomegaly caused by preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease (EPIC) study monitored dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) as they developed c...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the Vasovagal Tone Index (VVTI) at different stages of Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease (MMVD). A total of 525 electrocardiograms from the period between 2014 and 2023 were analyzed, ...

The N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is released in response to volume expansion and/or increased tension on cardiac ventricular myocytes. In non-uremic patients, NT-pro-BNP is a useful diagnostic an...

Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare form of myocarditis that is often triggered by drug hypersensitivity reactions. We describe the case of a 55-year-old man who presented with cardiogenic shock that rapidly progress...

Wegener’s Granulomatosis is a multisystemic granulomatous inflammation of small vessels that typically effects the kidney, skin, joints and lower and upper airway tracts. Because of the multisystemic involvement, the s...

Growing evidence is showing important health impacts of sleep disruption. Sleep restriction is becoming increasingly common in today’s 24/7 society. Evidence from epidemiological studies suggest that reduced sleep dura...

ABSTRACT Background Revisiting the association between heart disease and renal infarction (RI) in cats is relevant to determine whether those with RI should undergo echocardiographic screening. Objective Compare the rela...

Since ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a major cause of mortality and heart failure, novel therapeutic strategies are expected to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Brief episodes ...

Abstract Background The coexistence of renal artery stenosis (RAS) and acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) is exceptionally rare. While imaging studies are essential for diagnosing RAS, noninvasive tests such as re...
