Avian cardiology

Abstract: The field of avian cardiology is continually expanding. Although a great deal of the current knowledge base has been derived from poultry data, research and clinical reports involving companion avian species have been published. This article will present avian cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, history and physical examination considerations in the avian cardiac disease patient, specific diagnostic tools, cardiovascular disease processes, and current therapeutic modalities.

“…Endocardiosis is not frequently reported in birds, presenting in isolated cases in some species (Rosenthal & Stamoulis, 1993;Oglesbee & Lehmkuhl, 2001;Strunk & Wilson, 2003). This is the first report of myxomatous degeneration of the left atrioventricular valve in Amazona aestiva.…”

“…Nutritional considerations in many chronic diseases are not fully understood in everyday clinical practice (Boban et al, 2019). In avian medicine, disorders linked to obesity and the cardiovascular system include atherosclerosis, hypertension, and cardiovascular dysfunction (Strunk & Wilson, 2003). However, weight loss can lead to alterations in the heart (Boban et al, 2019).…”

“…Cardiovascular diseases are common in birds (Beaufrère, Pariaut, Rodriguez, & Tully, 2010) and represent a diagnostic challenge (Strunk & Wilson, 2003) because it may be difficult to interpret the results of the physical examination correctly (Pees, Krautwald-Junghanns, & Straub, 2006). Straub, Forbes, Thielebein, and Krautwald-Junghanns (2003) described heart injuries using necropsy examinations performed on Psittacidae.…”

“…However, these parameters are directly related to body weight, animal size and even lifestyle. Indeed, bird heart size is quite variable and depends on body size, activity level and special physiological needs (Strunk & Wilson, 2003). For example, prior to migration, the heart size of the barnacle goose ( Branta leucopsis ) increases dramatically (Smith et al., 2000).…”
