Cardiology clinical Flashcards
mutation du doberman pour DCM
PDK4 & titin, autosomal dominant
mutation Maine coon pour HCM
Mybp3 - A31p, autosomal dominant
mutation ragdoll pour HCM
Mybp3 - r820w, higher risk of cardiac death
mutation boxer ARVC
striatin, autosomal dominant
reason for presentation of boxer for ARVC
syncope (1/3 - 2/3)
myxomatous mitral valve disease
A - predisposition genetique
B - malade mais pas de signe clinique
B1 - preclinical - mitral regurgitation
B2 - La/ao 1.6, LVDd > 1.7, VHS > 10.5, ssag 3/6,
C - ICC , MST 1 an une fois CC
D - refractory, dog : 8 mg/kg/d
indication for pimobendane
b2, retarde l’apparition d’ICC 15 mois
negative pronostic factors
- rupture of cordae
- PH
- syncopal
- arrhytmias
MOA of pimobendane
- inhibitor of PDEI 3 (via AMPc pathway) : Ca2+ sensitization in cardiomyocyte, inodiolatator
- vasodilatation
MOA furosemide
inhibitor de la pump Na, K, 2 Cl , thick portion of ascending loop of henle
Torsemide
x10 furosemide
only predictor of risk of cardiac failure in MVD
thrill
only acquired disease in dog with sexual predisposition
male + , MVD
2 breeds with AF before DCM
irish wolhound, newfoundland
1 breed with TV before DCM
doberman , Great Dane
Other breeds predisposed for DCM
- Standard Schnauzer RBM20
- Welsh springer spaniel : phospholamban
Taurine deficiency DCM
Cocker, Golden Retriever
Non-genetic causes of DCM
- Nutritional : deficiency in taurine - lamb & riz , carnitine (Boxer), rich in legumes, grain free, low protein
- Endocrinopathy : Hypothyroidism, Addison
- Tachyarrythmia
- Toxins : doxorubicin, monensin
- Myocarditis, myocardial ischemia
- Other dz resulting in systemic dysfunction
Form juvenile of DCM
- Portuguese water dog, Toy manchester terrier
Negative pronostic factors in DCM
- Worst in DP & Great Dane
- FA
- age at onset
- CHF : ascite, pleural, pulmonary edema
Tx of DCM
- Pimobendane (DP 9 mo delay shows ICC)
- ACEi for DP delays ICC
Px of DCM in CHF
19 we (3 mo)
if no CHF 2 yo for DP
Pathogeny of ARVC
remplacement of tissue by fatty - fibrofatty tissue or RV
Presentation of ARVC
- striatin, autosomal dominant, worst presentation in homozygous
- male
- 5-7 yo
- boxer
- 30% no echocardiography changes
- 30% sudden death
