26
Q

Heart sound - S1

A

Beginning of systole

Caused by the initial movement of the ventricle, the abrupt arrest of blood flow as AV valves tense, and the early part of ejection

27
Q

Heart sound - S2

A

End of systole

Caused by the change in direction of blood flow, closing the semilunar valves

28
Q

Heart sounds - S3

A

Termination of rapid ventricular filling

Commonly heard at or caudal and dorsal to the apex beat

29
Q

Heart sounds - S4

A

Atrial contraction and sudden arrest of the distended ventricle

30
Q

Caused by blood flow in aorta and pulmonary artery in early systole
Left side of thorax
PMI over aortic or pulmonary valves
Grade 1-3/6
Early to midsystolic

31
Q

Diastolic murmur

A

Caused by ventricular filling
Common in young horses and thoroughbreds
Left side of thorax
PMI over mitral area
Grade 1.3/6
Early diastolic (S2-S3) or late diastolic (S4-S1)
Quality is often musical/squeaking

32
Q

Point of maximum intensities

A

Pulmonary – left 3rd ICS below point of shoulder
Aortic – left 4th ICS below point of shoulder
Mitral – left 5th ICS halfway between shoulder and sternum
Tricuspid – right 4th ICS

33
Q

A

AST, CK (MM) and LDH (LDH1) levels, and isoenzymes

Tests for cardiac troponin I and T are available in horses

34
Q

Exam of abdomen - Ausc (normal)

A

Left side
- Dorsal third: dulled tympanic
- Medium third: dulled tympanic
- Ventral third: dulled

Right side
- Dorsal third: tympanic
- Medium third: dulled tympanic
- Ventral third: dulled

35
Q

Exam of liver

A
  • Serum levels of hepatic enzymes
  • Bile salts
  • Ammonia
  • Glucose
  • Bilirubin
  • Clotting factors
  • Plasma proteins

Physical exam is impossible, use US or x-ray

36
Q

Exam pancreas

A

Use parameters
- Serum amylase and lipase activity
- Peritoneal fluid amylase activity (not specific)

37
Q

Where to perform US of stomach

A

Left side 10th-15th ICS

38
Q

Indications of abdominal US (9)

A

Colic
Weight loss, anorexia

53
Q

interpretation of a horse’s ability to move its head, neck and limbs when recumbent

A
  • if the horse can lift only its head, the lesion is in the cranial cervical region
  • if the horse can raise its head and neck, the lesion is in the caudal cervical region
  • if the horse cannot rise into a sitting position (dog-sitting position) the lesion is in the cervical cord
  • If the thoracic limbs are functional, the lesion is caudal to T2
  • If the deficit is in the trunk or hind limbs, the lesion is located between T2 and S2
  • Localized sweating indicates a lesion in the descending sympathetic tracts
54
Q

Urine analysis

A

Physical exam (color, odor, clarity, viscosity, specific gravity)
Reagent strip analysis (urine dipstick test)
Sediment examination
Enzymuria –> GGT, ALP, LDH
Fractional clearance of electrolytes (w/serum)
Bacterial culture
Clarity: usually turbid (CaCO3 and mucus) – if it is clear this can be a sign of polyuria

Specific gravity – measured with hand held refractometry
- <1008 g/L (hyposthenuria)
- 1008-1014 g/L (isosthenuria)
- >1014 g/L (hypersthenuria)
- Normal urine: >1020-1025 g/L
