Abstract:
Additional diagnostic techniques applied to veterinary small animal cardiology. This study aimed to identify and describe methods for routine diagnosis applied to veterinary
small animal cardiology in large centers, to highlight the main diseases that occur in clinical
prediction and new tools to assist the clinician to arrive at a differential diagnosis. Doctors
Cardiologists questionnaires were applied in the period June-August 2013 in the cities of
Recife-PE and Natal-RN in order to identify the imaging features of most modern laboratory
used in these cities. Veterinarians Patos-PB, Natal-RN, Recife, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro-
RJ and São Paulo-SP were also asked about the most requested tests and heart disease were
the most frequent in the clinic. It was found that human cardiology this ahead of veterinary
cardiology, yet that has achieved a growing trend in research, with computed tomography and
cardiac biomarkers to detect as soon as possible existing heart problems, so that patients have
one index mortality and morbidity associated with lower stages of disease. The highlight are
the cardiac biomarkers who has a good sensitivity and specificity and presenting specific kits
for veterinary shaped commercial kit. Cardiac troponins, CK, CK-MB, and natriuretic
peptides enzymes has obtained a significant reputation in relation to other less specific to the
myocardium biomarkers, the expectation is that in some years it is possible to introduce these
tests in routine veterinary clinical medicine.
