24
Q

lesions associated with triscupid regurg

A

cattle - bacterial endocarditis

horses - none

25
Q

effect of lung dysfunction on the heart - pulmonary hypertension, RV hypertrophy / dilation / failure

A

cor pulmonale

26
Q

primary cause of cor pulmonale in cattle

A

high mountain disease / brisket disease

-hypoxic vasoconstriction due to altitude

27
Q

brisket disease

A
  • hypoxic vasoconstriction due to altitude >6000 feet
  • increased pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary hypertension
  • R sided pressure overload
  • jug vein distention and subcut edema
  • calves and yearlings moved from low to high altitude
  • fall and winter
28
Q

PAP and HMD

A

PAP >49 at any elevation = greatest risk

PAP <35 at 5000 feet = good to breed

29
Q

bacterial causes of myocarditis

A

staph aureus, strep equi, clostridium chauvoei, mycobacteria

30
Q

viral causes of myocarditis

A

foot-and-mouth, EIA, EVA, e. flu, African horse sickness

31
Q

nutritional causes of DCM

A

Vit E, selenium, or copper deficiency

32
Q

CS of pericarditis

A

peripheral edema, jug distention and pulsations, tachypnoea or dyspnoea

  • tachycardia
  • muffled heart sounds + absent ventral lung sounds
33
Q

ECG changes: decreased QRS amplitude, electrical alternans, ST segment elevation

A

pericarditis

34
Q

eastern tent caterpillars

A

MRLS - also cause constrictive / fibrinous pericarditis

35
Q

most common primary cardiac tumor

A

lymphosarcoma - right atrial myocardium in cattle, TR occurs

-die within 6 months

36
Q

aortopulmonary fistulas and thoracic aortic rupture occur in what breed

A

Friesians - connective tissue disorder of the collagen or elastin?

37
Q

spontaneous thromboembolism in horses

A
  • parasites

- aorta, cranial mesenteric arteries

38
Q

causes of arteriosclerosis in cattle

A
  • excess VitD3 supplementation

- calcinogenic plants: solanum malacoxylon, centrum diurnal, or trisetum flavecens

39
Q

cause of arteriosclerosis in horses

A

strongylus vulgaris

40
Q

cattle usually have AF associated with

A
  • GI disease

- have APCs

41
Q

common cause of paroxysmal AF in horses

A

furosemide –> K depletion

42
Q

murmurs >3/6 are present in __% AF cases

A

less than 50% in horses, even less in cattle

43
Q

how to differentiate AF from sinus arrhythmia or second degree AV block

A

AF = no fourth heart sound audible

44
Q

signs with V tach

A

jugular pulses + “bruit de cannon”

45
Q

diagnosing myocardial injury

A

cTnI

CK- MB fraction >5%

46
Q

diagnosing VT on ECG

A

4 or more VPCs

wide and bizarre QRSs

47
Q

ECG findings with life threatening VT

A
  • multifocal origin for VPCs
  • torsades de pointes (Wide VT)
  • “R on R” - r wave superimposed on the previous t
48
Q

A

uncommon in foals and calves

49
Q

tetralogy

50
Q

A

asymptomatic

51

A

aortic regurg with degenerative changes

52
Q

most common valvular dz in cattle

A

pulmonic regurg with endocarditis

53

widely radiating murmur with a distinctive honking quality

A

major mitral valve chordal rupture

54
Q

Severe aortic and mitral valve regurgitation can eventually cause

A

venous pulmonary hypertension.

55
Q

effusive pericarditis

A

Consequences associated with physical presence of fluid

Removal of pericardial fluid is beneficial

constrictive pericarditis

A

Reduction in ventricular compliance due to fibrinous or fibrotic involvement of the pericardium or epicardium

Removal of pericardial fluid is of limited benefit
