It facilitates quantification of the frequency and severity of ventricular ectopy, and is important in the management of affected dogs. [2] Boxer breeders are encouraged to Holter their breeding stock annually to screen out affected dogs. [7] Genetic test: A genetic test for Boxer cardiomyopathy is now commercially available. [8]
It is a congenital heart disease in dogs. There usually are no signs in dogs except for a heart murmur. However, a large defect can result in heart failure or in pulmonary hypertension leading to a right-to-left shunt. [49] Atrial septal defect* is a hole in the division between the heart atria (upper chambers of the heart). It is an uncommon ...
It is used to access the blood vessels supplying the heart. Strontium-82 has a half-life of 25.5 days while Rubidium-82 has a half-life of 76 seconds. Heart muscles can take up Rubidium-82 efficiently through sodium–potassium pump. Compared with Technetium-99m, Rubidium-82 has higher uptake by the heart muscles. However, Rubidium-82 has lower ...

1. Ketogenic Diet. Cancer cells rely on glucose for energy to grow. The ketogenic diet is a way to provide an alternative energy source to normal cells in the dog's body while starving the cancer ...
Experts say it could ‘revolutionise the way we diagnose myocarditis’, allowing early treatment and support.
Internal bleeding (also called internal haemorrhage) is a loss of blood from a blood vessel that collects inside the body, and is not usually visible from the outside. [1] It can be a serious medical emergency but the extent of severity depends on bleeding rate and location of the bleeding (e.g. head, torso, extremities).
A new approach to a routine blood test could predict a person’s 30-year risk of heart disease, research published Saturday in the New England Journal of Medicine found.
