The present work has as main objective to analyze the equine cardiac ventricles after death, from the morphoquantitative measurement. Six hearts of different races of horses with the presence or absence of different sports skills were used. The hearts were collected after the animal died and the cause of death was not stated. Six hearts of the equine species were analyzed, being 50% males and 50% females. As for the breed 33.3% was Quarter mile, 33.3% was Machador Broad Sleeve and 16.6% was Paulista Broad Sleeve and 16.6% was PSI. About athletic life, 50% were considered equine and the average weight of the animals was 426.83 kg, with the lowest weight 295 kg and the highest 560.0 kg. Regarding the dimensions of the hearts analyzed, the average weight of the ventricles was 2.71 kg, with the lowest weight 1.63 kg and the highest weight 3.83 kg; On the size of the base, it found an average of 22.28 cm, with the base smaller 17.0 cm and the largest base 25; As for the axis, the average was 25.66 cm, being the smallest of 22.0 cm and the largest of 30. Regarding the number of slices, case 1 was the smallest, being 9 and Case 2 and 5 presented a larger number of slices, being 12. Physical activity in horses seems to be associated with myocardial hypertrophy and this fact may increase the axis and allow greater cuts and action analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
