Evaluation of left atrial function in asymptomatic dogs with chronic myxomatous mitral valve disease: two-dimensional feature-tracking echocardiography and Simpsons monoplanar methods

Pesqui. vet. bras; 40 (3), 2020
The present study evaluated the volume and function of the left atrium by two-dimensional echocardiographic feature-tracking imaging (2D-FTI) and Simpson’s monoplanar modeling in dogs with asymptomatic degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD). The study consisted of 80 dogs that were divided into the f...

The effect of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) on mice myocardial morphology

Pesqui. vet. bras; 39 (5), 2019
Studies have demonstrated sympathetic cardiac denervation in the MPTP mouse model. MPTP toxicity causes sympathetic nerve damage and depletion of heart norepinephrine. Previous evaluations of impairments in heart innervation have been based on imaging, electrophysiological and biochemical methods. Howeve...
