Vertebral heart size and vertebral left atrial size reference intervals in healthy Shetland Sheepdogs, Cairn Terriers, Italian Greyhounds, and English Springer Spaniels.
Objective: To evaluate vertebral heart size (VHS) and vertebral left atrial size (VLAS) reference intervals in Shetland Sheepdogs (SSs), Cairn Terriers (CTs), Italian Greyhounds (IGs), and English Springer Spaniels (ESSs).
Methods: The electronic medical records of IDEXX Telemedicine Consultants were searched for SSs, CTs, IGs, and ESSs undergoing radiography from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. Dogs were included if they had 2- or 3-view thoracic radiographs performed and no evidence of cardiopulmonary or systemic disease. The same board-certified cardiologist performed the VHS and VLAS measurements in all dogs.
Results: During the study period, a total of 778 SSs, 605 CTs, 569 IGs, and 447 ESSs were identified. Of these, 579 SSs, 433 CTs, 433 IGs, and 321 ESSs were excluded, leaving 199 SSs, 172 CTs, 136 IGs, and 126 ESSs available for analysis. The reference interval for SSs was 9.2v to 11.5v for VHS and 1.7v to 2.4v for VLAS. The reference interval for CTs was 9.3v to 11.2v for VHS and 1.6 to 2.4v for VLAS. The reference interval for IGs was 9.1v to 11.5v for VHS and 1.6v to 2.3v for VLAS. The reference interval for ESSs was 9.1v to 11.5v for VHS and 1.7v to 2.4v for VLAS.
Conclusions: SSs, CTs, IGs, and ESSs have breed-specific VHS and VLAS reference intervals.
Clinical relevance: Clinicians should be aware of these results to accurately diagnose cardiac disease in these breeds.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Veterinary Research supports the collaborative exchange of information between researchers and clinicians by publishing novel research findings that bridge the gulf between basic research and clinical practice or that help to translate laboratory research and preclinical studies to the development of clinical trials and clinical practice. The journal welcomes submission of high-quality original studies and review articles in a wide range of scientific fields, including anatomy, anesthesiology, animal welfare, behavior, epidemiology, genetics, heredity, infectious disease, molecular biology, oncology, pharmacology, pathogenic mechanisms, physiology, surgery, theriogenology, toxicology, and vaccinology. Species of interest include production animals, companion animals, equids, exotic animals, birds, reptiles, and wild and marine animals. Reports of laboratory animal studies and studies involving the use of animals as experimental models of human diseases are considered only when the study results are of demonstrable benefit to the species used in the research or to another species of veterinary interest. Other fields of interest or animals species are not necessarily excluded from consideration, but such reports must focus on novel research findings. Submitted papers must make an original and substantial contribution to the veterinary medicine knowledge base; preliminary studies are not appropriate.
