“…Myocarditis may also occur if the infection occurs within the first 2–3 weeks of life, when rapid myocardial cell proliferation takes place [ 62 , 63 ]. Moreover, myocarditis may also occur secondary to PVE, resulting from sepsis caused by the disruption of gastrointestinal barrier [ 64 ]. The hypovolemic state of the PVE caused by dehydration results in reduced preload, making detection of impaired myocardial function with conventional echocardiography difficult [ 51 ].…”

Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D–STE) is an advanced echocardiographic technique based on deformation imaging that allows comprehensive evaluation of the myocardial function. Clinical application of 2D–STE holds great potential for its ability to provide valuable information on both global and regional myocardial function and to quantify cardiac rotation and synchronicity, which are not readily possible with the conventional echocardiography. It has gained growing importance over the past decade, especially in human medicine, and its application includes assessment of myocardial function, detection of subclinical myocardial dysfunction and serving as a prognostic indicator. This review illustrates the fundamental concepts of deformation analysis and gives an overview of the current understanding and its clinical application of this technique in veterinary medicine, with a focus on early detection of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in dogs.

“…In two contemporary reports, echocardiography was used to evaluate cardiac function in dogs with clinical illness from parvovirus enteritis. In both reports, dogs who ultimately did not survive had significant reduction in left ventricular function based on echocardiographic parameters consistent with DCM phenotype ( 23 , 24 ). Reports using echocardiography to characterize myocarditis of non-parvovirus etiologies and of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), the end stage result of myocarditis, describe parameters such as reduced left ventricular systolic function, left ventricular volume overload, dilation of the ventricles, and heteroechogenecity of the ventricular myocardium ( 25 , 26 ).…”

Positive clinical outcomes of a group of surviving puppies from a litter affected by parvoviral myocarditis are detailed in this case report. Past reports focus on the negative outcomes of littermates of puppies who have died of parvoviral myocarditis. In this case, two puppies in a shelter setting, from a litter exposed to parvovirus, died suddenly with parvoviral myocarditis diagnosed at necropsy. The other seven puppies were screened for cardiac health with echocardiogram, electrocardiogram, and cardiac troponin I prior to adoption. All seven puppies had normal echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, and normal initial and recheck cardiac troponin I results. At recheck 2 years after the initial round of testing, two of the puppies were screened and continue to have normal cardiac diagnostics. All seven dogs are alive and thriving at 5 years old in homes with adopters who were given a complete medical history on the dogs prior to adoption. In summary, the outcomes for puppies in litters affected by parvoviral myocarditis are variable but they do not have to be grave. The use of cardiac diagnostics including echocardiogram, electrocardiogram and cardiac troponin I may serve as a prognostic basis for assessing the potential outcomes for the surviving puppies in affected litters.

“…This technique has been recommended for use in dogs with various cardiac diseases, such as myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) and patent ductus arteriosus (Suzuki et al, 2013 andSpalla et al, 2016). Recently, 2D-STE has been performed to assess right ventricular myocardial function in dogs with pulmonary hypertension (Caivano, 2020) and MMVD (Yuchi et al, 2021) and myocardial function in dogs with parvoviral enteritis (de Abreu et al, 2021). In addition, the 2D-STE technique allowed automatic analysis of time to LA area or volume curve during the LA function cycle, which is beneficial in humans (Li et al, 2014) and dogs .…”

Assessment of left atrial function in cats with arterial thromboembolism by using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography

Feline arterial thromboembolism (ATE) is an acute and distressing clinical presentation with high mortality and poor prognosis. ATE may be related to cardiogenic causes such as the underlying myocardial disease or non-cardiogenic causes. Echocardiography is the routine diagnostic tool to evaluate cardiac structural changes and myocardial function in cats. Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) is a novel ultrasound modality based on 2D echocardiographic images, that allows multidirectional active deformation assessment and provides comprehensive information on myocardial contractile properties and function. 2D-STE echocardiography has been used to estimate the strain and strain rate of left atrial myocardial deformation in humans, dogs and cats with HCM, but there has been no study in cats with ATE. The objective of this study was to investigate left atrial myocardial deformation in cats with ATE and normal cats using 2D-STE. This study included twenty-three normal cats and twenty-one ATE cats diagnosed with fifteen cardiogenic ATE and six non-cardiogenic ATE. The left atrial stain and stain rate were significantly decreased in cats with cardiogenic ATE compared with the normal group (p<0.001), but no significant difference between the non-cardiogenic ATE and normal groups. From the correlation test, the use of left atrial stain during the reservoir phase assessed by 2D-STE could represent the overall LA deformation. In addition, the intra- and inter-observer coefficient of variation was acceptable for LASr. From the logistic regression, the LASr value of less than 11% was a significant factor for the occurrence of ATE, with a crude odds ratio of 189.0 (95%CI: 15.73-2,269.86, p-value<0.001). In conclusion, the left atrial longitudinal strain of reservoir phase derived by 2D-STE is a repeatable and non-invasive technique to assess LA myocardial deformation in cats with ATE. By 2D-STE, impaired LA function was detected in cats with cardiogenic ATE, but not in cats with non-cardiogenic ATE. LASr <11% could predict the risk of occurrence of ATE in the cat population.
