Diagnóstico ecocardiográfico e tratamento de cardiomiopatia dilatada em tamanduá- bandeira ( Myrmecophaga trydactila ) mantido em cativeiro: relato de caso

Abstract: RESUMO A cardiomiopatia dilatada é uma doença de caráter crônico, que compromete a função cardíaca, resultando em desequilíbrio da circulação sanguínea e da homeostase corporal do animal. Este relato apresenta a evolução do quadro clínico e o tratamento de cardiomiopatia dilatada em um exemplar cativo de tamanduá-bandeira. O animal apresentou quadro clínico de insuficiência cardíaca e foi submetido a duas baterias de exames laboratoriais e de imagem em um período de três meses. Posteriormente, foi iniciado o t… Show more

“…Only one case of cardiovascular disorders was described by the institutions that participated in the study, namely severe cardiomegaly without any repercussions on the animal's clinical condition. However, at least eight cases of cardiomyopathy have been recorded in captive giant anteaters, 1,2,5,8,13,17,19 the known or suspected etiologies of which were parasitic or related to taurine deficiency. Cardiac diseases should therefore be part of the differential diagnosis of possible diseases in giant anteaters, especially in case of evocative signs (dyspnea, exertional intolerance, lethargy, dysorexia, weight loss, and so on).…”
