Retrospective Evaluation of Cardiac Diseases in 562 Dogs in the Black Sea Region
Öz
Retrospective evaluation of cardiac data is essential for the prevention and treatment of cardiac diseases. In this way, correct steps can be taken in diagnosis. In this study, it was aimed to retrospectively evaluate the data of 562 dogs brought to Ondokuz Mayıs University Animal Hospital from various provinces of the Black Sea region and diagnosed with cardiac diseases. Clinical findings, electrocardiographic data, echocardiography and blood analysis were evaluated. 525 patients (93.41%) had acquired heart disease and 37 patients (6.59%) had congenital heart disease. The most common acquired heart disease in dogs was dilated cardiomyopathy and the most common congenital heart disease was patent ductus arteriosus. In addition, a total of 11614 dogs came to the Internal Medicine department between these years. Of these, 562 were diagnosed with cardiac disease. In other words, the prevalence of cardiac diseases in the Black Sea region was determined as 4.84%. With this study, it was concluded that clinical findings, physical examination and diagnostic practices should be evaluated together in the diagnosis of cardiac diseases.
