“…It is reported in the scientific community that the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin serum, phosphorus and nitrogen may increase due to the hepatic congestion or due to a reduction in renal blood flow which occurs at ICC [15]. Hypokalemia may also occur in anorexic animals [1], so changes in the biochemical evaluation found in this animal are compatible with the CHF.…”

This report describes a case of cardiomyopathy associated with excessive moderator bands in a 7 years old cat. In the cat echocardiography examination was observed cardiomegaly, decreased systolic function and thinning of the left ventricle wall. The electrocardiogram showed the occurrence of supraventricular tachycardia. The treatment was initiated with digoxin, furosemide and taurine supplementation, with an improvement of the clinical signs, however the animal died in a fall. The diagnosis of cardiomyopathy associated with excessive moderator band, was based on the multiple cardiac bunds which connect the septum to the free wall of the left ventricle observed in the cat necropsy.

“…Most ASD are asymptomatic being incidental findings [4]. Echocardiography remains the imaging modality of choice for clinching a diagnosis, revealing the size, location and hemodynamic effects of the defects [2,8]. Findings include a defect in the inter-atrial septum, dilated right heart chambers with increased pulmonary pressures [2].…”

ASD is one of the most common asymptomatic congenital heart defects manifesting in adulthood. We report two cases managed in a tertiary facility in Nigeria. The first case is a 31-year-old woman who came to the hospital with overt symptoms of heart failure. Color Doppler showed a left to right shunt in the inter-atrial septum (Ostium Primum type). She subsequently improved with anti-failure regimen and anticoagulants. The second case is a 32-year-old man who presented with easy fatigability of four months. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a mid-inter-atrial septal defect (Ostium Secundum type) with dilated heart chambers. He is for surgery pending when finances permit.

“…A HPA moderada a grave pode apresentar alterações clássicas, tanto em modo-B como em modo-M, tais como a hipertrofia e dilatação ventricular direita, a dilatação da artéria pulmonar, o achatamento do septo com movimento paradoxal e o prolapso da válvula tricúspide e pulmonar (Escalda, 2014), sinais observados na paciente. Nesta paciente também foi visualizada comunicação interatrial, que é uma malformação cardíaca incomum em cães, de acordo com Cavalcanti et al (2011), ocorrendo devido a um defeito no septo interatrial.…”

A estenose pulmonar é uma doença congênita que causa obstrução parcial do fluxo sanguíneo entre o ventrículo direito e a artéria pulmonar, sendo encontrada principalmente em animais jovens e machos. Este trabalho relata os casos de duas cadelas das raças Spitz Alemão e Yorkshire Terrier, com 8 meses e 9 anos, respectivamente. Os animais foram submetidos a radiografias latero-lateriais e ventro-dorsais torácicas que evidenciaram aumento cardíaco direito e dilatação do tronco da artéria pulmonar. Também foram submetidas ao exame ecocardiográfico que demonstrou valvas pulmonares com função e morfologia alterada e dilatação pós-estenótica, com fluxo de velocidade aumentada e turbulento na região dessa valva. Após o diagnóstico, estabeleceu-se tratamento clínico com o uso de vasodilatadores, diuréticos, inibidor da fosfodiesterase e β-bloqueador dependendo da necessidade de cada animal, sendo recomendada a avaliação clínica periódica das pacientes e realização de exames complementares para acompanhamento dos casos. O tratamento estabelecido se mostrou satisfatório, devido a melhora dos sinais clínicos.
