2018 journal article

Evaluation of point-of-care thoracic ultrasound and NT-proBNP for the diagnosis of congestive heart failure in cats with respiratory distress

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE, 32(5), 1530–1540.

By: J. Ward*, G. Lisciandro, W. Ware*, A. Viall*, B. Aona n, K. Kurtz n, Y. Reina-Doreste n, T. DeFrancesco n

author keywords: B-lines; biomarker; cardiac; feline; lung; point-of-care; respiratory
MeSH headings : Animals; Biomarkers / blood; Cat Diseases / blood; Cat Diseases / diagnosis; Cats; Echocardiography / veterinary; False Negative Reactions; False Positive Reactions; Female; Heart Failure / blood; Heart Failure / diagnosis; Heart Failure / veterinary; Male; Natriuretic Peptide, Brain / blood; Peptide Fragments / blood; Point-of-Care Systems; Retrospective Studies
TL;DR: Lung ultrasound and blood NT‐proBNP were significant predictors of CHF in a multivariate model and point‐of‐care diagnostic techniques of LUS, FCU, and NT‐ proBNP are useful to diagnoseCHF in cats with respiratory distress. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 journal article

Angiotensin-converting enzyme activity and inhibition in dogs with cardiac disease and an angiotensin-converting enzyme polymorphism

JOURNAL OF THE RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM, 18(4).

By: K. Meurs n, J. Stern n, C. Atkins n, D. Adin n, B. Aona n, J. Condit n, T. DeFrancesco n, Y. Reina-Doreste n ...

MeSH headings : Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors / therapeutic use; Animals; Breeding; Dogs; Genotype; Heart Diseases / drug therapy; Heart Diseases / enzymology; Heart Diseases / genetics; Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A / genetics; Polymorphism, Genetic
TL;DR: It is possible that the genetic status and ACE activity of dogs may impact the response of dogs with this variant to an ACE inhibitor, and an ACE polymorphism is associated with lower levels of ACE activity. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 journal article

Evaluation of genes associated with human myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs with familial myxomatous mitral valve degeneration

VETERINARY JOURNAL, 232, 16–19.

By: K. Meurs n, S. Friedenberg*, B. Williams n, B. Keene n, C. Atkins n, D. Adin n, B. Aona n, T. DeFrancesco n ...

author keywords: Canine; Cavalier King Charles spaniel; Dachshund; Genetic; Mitral valve; Myxomatous valve
MeSH headings : Animals; DNA / blood; Dog Diseases / genetics; Dogs; Heart Valve Diseases / genetics; Heart Valve Diseases / veterinary; Humans; Mitral Valve; Mitral Valve Prolapse / genetics; Mutation; Species Specificity; Whole Genome Sequencing / veterinary
TL;DR: Although mitral valve disease in the CKCS and Dachshund is a familial disease, it was hypothesized that a genetic mutation associated with the development of the human form of MMVD was associated withthe development of canine MMVD and this work identified genetic cause in the genes responsible for the human disease.
