Diagnosing and prognosticating equine heart disease is a challenge for veterinarians! Traditional methods used to evaluate a horse's heart include radiography, ultrasound and electrocardiography (ECG). However, this provides little information regarding heart injury at cellular level. To overcome this, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has been identified as a more sensitive, non-invasive blood biomarker that may be used when quantifying the degree of heart muscle damage.","PeriodicalId":235158,"journal":{"name":"SA Horseman","volume":"92 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115034050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
