DeFrancesco, T. C., & Ward, J. L. (2021, September 9). Veterinary Clinics of North America Small Animal Practice, Vol. 11.

By: T. DeFrancesco n  & J. Ward*

author keywords: Echocardiography; Congestive heart failure; Dyspnea; Respiratory distress; Pulmonary edema; Ascites; Pleural effusion; Pericardial effusion
MeSH headings : Animals; Dog Diseases / diagnostic imaging; Dogs; Echocardiography / veterinary; Heart Defects, Congenital / veterinary; Heart Failure / veterinary; Pericardial Effusion / diagnostic imaging; Pericardial Effusion / veterinary

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

Meurs, K. M., Stern, J. A., Atkins, C. E., Adin, D., Aona, B., Condit, J., … Woodruff, K. (2017, October 1). Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, Vol. 18, p. 1470320317737184.

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 ...

author keywords: Polymorphism; canine; angiotensin-converting enzyme; enalapril
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
topics (OpenAlex): Cardiovascular Conditions and Treatments; Renin-Angiotensin System Studies; Pharmacological Effects and Assays
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)
