JOURNAL OF VETERINARY CARDIOLOGY, 21, 1–9.

By: D. Adin n, T. DeFrancesco n , B. Keene n, S. Tou n, K. Meurs n , C. Atkins n, B. Aona n, K. Kurtz n ...

author keywords: Nutritional; Heart failure; Dog; Taurine

TL;DR: Dietary-associated DCM occurs with some GF diets and can improve with nutritional management, including diet change, and the role of taurine supplementation, even without deficiency, is uncertain. (via Semantic Scholar)

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)

Furosemide continuous rate infusion diluted with 5% dextrose in water or hypertonic saline in normal adult dogs: a pilot study

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY CARDIOLOGY, 19(1), 44–56.

By: D. Adin n, C. Atkins n, M. Papich n , T. DeFrancesco n , E. Griffiths n, M. Penteado*, K. Kurtz n, A. Klein n

author keywords: Lasix; Diuretic; Sodium; Salt
MeSH headings : Animals; Cross-Over Studies; Diuretics / administration & dosage; Diuretics / adverse effects; Diuretics / pharmacokinetics; Dogs; Furosemide / administration & dosage; Furosemide / adverse effects; Furosemide / pharmacokinetics; Glucose / administration & dosage; Infusions, Intravenous / veterinary; Male; Pilot Projects; Saline Solution, Hypertonic / administration & dosage; Single-Blind Method; Water
TL;DR: Diuresis was similar for both furosemide CRI methods; however, the H-SAL method induced less renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation than the DEX method, suggesting that dilution of a furo Semine CRI with 2.4% hypertonic saline may be well tolerated in heart failure.
