Q

DISCUSS PINOBENDAN

A

IONOTROPH AND VASODILATOR

IT WORKS BY ENHANCEING MYOCARDIAL CELL SENSITIVITY TO ICF CA CAUSING INOTROPIC EFFECTS, INHIBITS PHOSPHOSTERASE 111, ARTERIAL AND VENOUS DILATION,

IT PROLONGS THE SURVIVAL OF THE DCM DOG

IT WORKS IN TWO WAYS;

  1. IT SENSITISE THE MYOCARDIUM CAUSING THE HEART TO CONTRACT HARDER AND WORKS ON THE PHERIPHERY TO DILATE THE BV
  2. it decreases the afterload so making the heart work less while increasing contractility to help the heart get the blood out

Q

ich animals arelikely to get vsd

A

cats more than dogs

97
Q

which conditions gives u systolic plateau murmur on the right side

A
  • vsd
  • tricuspid valve
98
Q

why do u get a functional ps with concurent left sided murmur when u have vsd

A

this is because more blood is shunted to the right side and more blood means there is going to be a lot trying to pass through the pulmonic valve hence ctreating a functional ps
