The aim of the studx was to evaluate the influence of sildenafil citrate administrated intravaginaly on the blood flow in the bovine uterus during dioestrus. Uterine blood flow was examined in six healthy adult cows. Sildenafil was administrated intravaginaly to each cow between the 6th and 8th d of the ovarian cycle, in the form of vaginal suppositories containing 100 mg of active substance at a...
The study was an attempt to determine the possibilities of using ovocystatin, a component of a new generation product of natural origin, in local therapy of atopic dermatitis in dogs by suppressing pruritus during illness. Chicken egg cystatin was used locally in the interdigital spaces of forelimbs of dogs used in the experiment. The degree of pruritus and clinical changes in the animals were defined...
The aim of the study was to assess the atrioventricular conduction in the model of porcine pacing induced tachycardiomyopathy. Fifty-one swine were examined: 27 were paced and 24 served as a control group. Every 4 weeks, the animals were anaesthetised for 1 h and an ECG Holter was performed. Thirty minutes after the onset of anaesthesia, P-R and R-R intervals were measured. Each result was assigned...
Electrocardiographic examinations were performed on 45 Silesian breed horses (group K, 3-16-year-old, 16 stallions, 29 mares) and on 25 Polish Primitive breed horses (group P, 1.5-19-year-old, two stallions, six geldings, 17 mares). Einthoven and chest leads were used. P-wave dispersion was electronically evaluated. There was no correlation between P-wave dispersion and other ECG parameters, age,...
The aim of the study was to estimate prevalence of tricuspid dysplasia (TD) in dogs with respect to breed, age, sex, clinical signs, and echocardiographic findings and to compare this data with literature. TD was found in 15 dogs (6.5% of congenital cardiac disease) of 215 dogs with congenital heart defects. All dogs had right heart enlargement on thoracic radiographs, echocardiography, and electrocardiography...
The influence of docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid obtained from a new generation of eggs on ventricular electrical function of 24 pigs with experimentally induced tachycardiomyopathy was described. Two groups were formed, 12 pigs had experimentally evoked tachycardiomyopathy and were getting standard feed (control group TIC). Twelve pigs with tachycardiomyopathy received feed with an addition of a dietary...
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the diagnostic accuracy of P-wave dispersion in predicting recurrence of atrial fibrillation in dogs with sinus rhythm restoration after external cardioversion. The study was performed on 15 dogs, which underwent electrical external cardioversion after atrial fibrillation. Nine-lead surface electrocardiogram of each dog was recorded 1 min after the cardioversion...
The electrocardiographic examination was performed in 33 training horses (2-16 years of age, 11 males and 22 females). Einthoven and precordial leads (I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, CV₁, CV₂,CV₄) were used. The ECG was performed in resting horses and immediately after exercise (10 min walk, 15 min trot, 10 min canter) using a portable Schiller AT-1 3-channel electrocardiograph, with a paper speed of 25...
The study presents a comparison of the results received from dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) that died during the first 30 d of observation and from dogs with DCM that survived the first 30 d after the ECG. No differences were noted in the duration of QT or QTc in healthy dogs and dogs with DCM. QTcd was significantly higher in dogs with DCM and in dogs with DCM, which did not survive over...
Results of supravital and post-mortem observation of embolic-thrombotic complications in dogs, in the course of endotoxaemia induced by pyometra and phlegmonous pneumonia due to infection with Psendomons aeruginosa, or endomyocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection were described. Multiorgan embolic-thrombotic complications were diagnosed in all presented cases. Most probably, the complications...
The aim of this study was to evaluate systolic function of left ventricle in dogs with spontaneous mitral regurgitation by estimating the rate of pressure rise in the left ventricle (dP/dt). Ninety-three dogs of different breed and sex, with chronic degenerative valvular disease were examined. All dogs had echocardiography examination with dP/dt estimation assessed from mitral regurgitant jet using...
A case of a dog with symptoms of weakness and cough caused by very rapid atrial tachycardia (270 bpm) was presented. Electrocardiography showed P wave preceded, narrow QRS complex incessant tachycardia. Echocardiography showed enlargement of both atria and ventricles. Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy resulting from permanent atrial tachycardia was diagnosed. The dog was ineffectively treated with...
The comparative study was performed on 200 European brown hares. Group I consisted of 35 clinically healthy hares kept in cages. Group II comprised 165 clinically healthy hares caught alive in their natural environment. Following the premedication, arterial and venous blood was drawn from the hares of the two groups studied. In the arterial blood, the acid-base balance (ABB) parameters were determined...
The aim of the study was to define the normal values for the 24-h ECG minimum, mean, and maximum heart rhythm frequency in clinically healthy dogs of different breeds and age with respect to sex and body mass, and to define what arrhythmias may occur in clinically healthy dogs. The study was conducted on 51 intact dogs of different sex, breed, and age, after taking into account their history, and...
The experimental material consisted of 20 dogs: 15 Doberman pinschers with diagnosed dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and five healthy dogs (three mixed breeds, one Doberman pinscher, one Boxer). DCM was confirmed by electrocardiography and echocardiography before euthanasia. After euthanasia, an autopsy was performed and myocardial samples were collected from the right and left ventricles, intraventricle...
The tests were performed on 21 healthy dogs of various breeds and sexes, with body weights from 3 to 70 kg, aged between 1 and 12 years, submitted to the ECG preventive examination. The ECG was performed in a standing position with BTL SD-8 electrocardiographic device and analysed once the recording was enlarged. P-wave duration was calculated in six ECG leads (I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF) from five...
The aim of the research was to determine whether short-time heart muscle ischemia caused by fast ventricular pacing rate (ventricular tachycardia) provokes insulin and glucose blood level alterations and if so, how long those changes last after return to the physiological heart rate and restoration of proper heart muscle perfusion as well. It was stated that short-lasting tachycardia provoked by fast,...
To determine changes in physiological parameters of the myocardium in experimentally induced hyperthyreosis in an animal model, the occurrence and type of arrhythmias triggered during programmed electrical stimulation and changes in electrophysiological parameters of ventricular cardiomyocytes with hypertrophy due to hyperthyreosis were investigated. Hyperthyreosis was induced experimentally in five...
The aim of the presented electrophysiological and histological study was the investigation of unexplained syncopal spells in a dog of Boxer breed. The dog underwent non-invasive procedures, which turned out to be insufficient for a complete diagnosis. Invasive procedures showed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In post-mortem examination, intensive extravascular fibrosis in the both atria, mostly in...
