Küçük hayvanlarda yaygın bir solunum yolu hastalığı olan pnömoni, akciğer kapasitesinin ve kalp debisinin azalması nedeniyle köpeklerde önemli hipoksemiye neden olur. Ayrıca, pnömoni kardiyak komplikasyonlara da yol açabilir. Bu çalışmada bronkopnömoni tedavisi uygulanan köpeklerde kardiyak siluet ve ana damar görünümlerindeki değişikliklerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmış ve bronkopnömonili köpeklerin tedavi öncesi ve sonrası radyografilerindeki değişiklikler değerlendirilmiştir. Bu amaçla, bronkopnömoni teşhisi konulan ve tedavi edilen 26 köpeğe ait radyografik veriler analiz edilmiştir. Ölçümler sol atriyal boyut, uzun eksen, kısa eksen, 4. torasik vertebra uzunluğu, aort genişliği, kaudal vena kava genişliği ve torasik genişliği içeriyordu. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrasında çekilen radyografilerde vertebral kalp skorunun uzun ve kısa eksenlerinde, dördüncü torasik vertebra uzunluğunda, aort ve kaudal vena kava genişliğinde ve torasik genişlikte herhangi bir değişiklik saptanmamıştır. Ancak, tedavi öncesi radyografilerde sol atriyal boyut tedavi sonrası radyografilere kıyasla daha büyük bulunmuştur. Hem tedavi öncesi hem de tedavi sonrası radyografilerde LAs ve LAs/TV4 ölçümleri arasında ve tedavi öncesi ile sonrası radyografiler arasındaki ölçüm farklılıklarında güçlü bir pozitif korelasyon gözlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bronkopnömoni tedavisini izlemek için kullanılan radyografiler, etkilenen köpeklerde potansiyel kardiyak komplikasyonların ilk göstergesi olarak hizmet edebilir.

Evaluation of Cardiologic Alterations in Radiographs of Dogs with Bronchopneumonia Before and After Treatment

Öz

Pneumonia, a common respiratory disease in small animals, causes significant hypoxemia in dogs due to reduced lung capacity and cardiac output. In addition, pneumonia may lead to cardiac complications. This study aimed to evaluate the alterations in cardiac silhouette and main vessel views in dogs that underwent bronchopneumonia treatment, and the alterations were evaluated in radiographs of the dogs with bronchopneumonia before and after treatment. For this purpose, radiographic data from 26 dogs diagnosed with and treated for bronchopneumonia were analyzed. The measurements included left atrial size, long axis, short axis, the fourth thoracic vertebra length, aorta width, caudal vena cava width, and thoracic width. Radiographs obtained before and after treatment indicated no changes in the long and short axes of the vertebral hearth score, the fourth thoracic vertebrae length, aorta and caudal vena cava width, and thoracic width. However, in pre-treatment radiographs, the left atrial size was found to be larger compared to post-treatment radiographs. A strong positive correlation was observed between measurements of LAs and LAs/TV4 in both pre- and post-treatment radiographs, as well as in the measurement differences between pre- and post-treatment radiographs. As a consequence, the radiographs employed to monitor bronchopneumonia treatment may serve as an initial indicator of potential cardiac complications in affected dogs.
