Objectives:
Mitral valve disease and dilated
cardiomyopathy are common acquired cardiac diseases in dogs. Standard
echocardiography is commonly used on dogs to non-invasively evaluate myocardial
function. The aim of this prospective study was to provide results about
variabilities of peak systolic radial strain and strain rate at the level of
the papillary muscles using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography
in a population of healthy and dogs with cardiologic disorders.
Materials
and Methods: Study Groups of A and B consisted of
3 dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy and 4 dogs with valve disease, respectively.
Control Group (C) consisted of 7 healthy dogs. These dogs were presented for
cardiac screening at the Veterinary Medical Hospital of Ankara University in
Turkey and were analyzed retrospectively
Results:
It is revealed that for strain
evaluation, Group A was significantly (P<0.05) different from Group C and
Group B.
Discussion:
According to the literature, this is
the first study from Turkey where speckle tracking echocardiography is used to
assess the left ventricular function of Turkish Kangal dogs with naturally
occurring dilated cardiomyopathy and mitral valve disease. Two-dimensional
speckle tracking echocardiography revealed decreased left ventricular
myocardial systolic performance in dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy compared
with strain levels of healthy dogs and dogs with valve disease.
