What are some common examples of congenital heart disease in small breed dogs
- L-R PDA
- Pulmonary stenosis
- Aortic stenosis
- VSD
what are some common examples of congenital heart disease in medium to large bulldogs, retrievers and newfoundlands
- Pulmonary stenosis
- subvalvular aortic stenosis
- Valvular aortic stenosis
- VSD
- Tricuspid valve dysplasia
what are some common examples of acquired heart disease in small breed dogs
- Degenerative valvular disease
- DCM
- cor pulmonale
what are some examples of acquired heart disease in medium to large bulldogs, retrievers, newfoundlands
- Degenerative valvular disease
- DCM
- Cor pulmonale
how does the duration of cough differ in airway disease vs CHF
- Airway disease- chronic
- CHF- acute
what does appetite indicate for patient with heart disease
stability of patient
what cardiac diseases can gingival, prepuce/vulva cyanosis indicate
shunts
what should CRT be
<2 seconds
assessing jugular pulses can allow you to assess __
right atrial pressures
what is normal right atrial pressure in dog/cat
0-5 mmHg
what is normal location for jugular pulse
<1/3 up thoracic inlet up neck
when do you assess jugular pulses
abdominal effusion/fluid
what could abnormal jugular pulse tell us
abdominal effusion, pulmonary hypertension, pericardial effusion
what is upstroke of pulse called
Ancrotic
what does downstroke of pulse called
dicrotic
what occurs in systolic phase of pulse
LV ejection
what occurs in dicrotic notch of pulse phase
AV closure
what occurs in diastolic phase of pulse phase
diastolic run off
what is pulse pressure
pressure difference between systolic and diastolic pressures
what is normal femoral pulse
120/80mmHg
a weak femoral pulse is <__% of systolic value
25%
what are some causes of weak femoral pulses
hypotension, aortic stenosis
is diastolic pressure low or high with bounding femoral pulses
low diastolic pressure
what are some causes of bounding femoral pulses
- Diastolic run off
- PDA
- Aortic insufficiency
