Bivariate Cox proportional hazard ratios identified pleural effusion and pulmonary edema, both signs of congestive heart failure, as independent prognostic indicators for dogs with DCM (P < .01). Hazard ratios for these prognostic indicators were 2.354 and 3.291, respectively. Multivariate Cox stepwise...
To our knowledge, this is the first reported case where midodrine, an alpha-1 receptor agonist, was used as an adjunctive therapy for idiopathic chylothorax resulting in both a radiographic and clinical response.关键词:adrenergic agents chyle chylothorax midodrine pleural effusion ...
A 6-mo-old female Beagle dog was inappetent and depressed. The radiographic, ultrasonographic, and computed tomographic examination of the chest revealed a 10 × 7cm multicystic mediastinal structure interpreted as altered thymus, in association with moderate pleural effusion that laboratory tests confirm...
Complete resolution of pleural effusion occurred in all but 1 dog. In 1 dog, a small volume of pleural effusion was persistent at a 7-month post-operative radiographic follow-up but was not associated with clinical signs and did not require thoracocentesis at any time during the dog's 25...
Neoplasia was identified in 4 of 16 dogs. Clinical significance Thoracoscopic subtotal pericardiectomy can be readily performed with only 2 instrument ports, both on the same side of the dog, and without 1‐lung ventilation. Recurrent pleural effusion led to the death of half of the dogs in ...
The most common clinical signs of iDCM are those of congestive heart failure and include respiratory distress due to pulmonary oedema or pleural effusion, exercise intolerance and general weakness, ascites, and weight loss. In dogs with arrhythmias, syncope and sudden cardiac death due to malignant...
