Interpretation of electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and biochemical findings during different stages of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis.

Interpretación de los hallazgos electrocardiográficos, ecocardiográficos y bioquímicos durante las diferentes etapas de la leishmaniasis visceral canina.

Objetivo. El propósito del presente estudio fue probar la hipótesis de que las alteraciones cardiacas participan en diferentes estadios de CVL Materiales y métodos. Veintiocho perros fueron diagnosticados con CVL, fueron clasificados [Basados en signos clínicos, pruebas ELISA / IFAT rápidas, pruebas bioquímicas hematológicas y de suero, relación proteína / creatinina urinaria, ECG y ECHO]. Como sigue; Grupo I (enfermedad leve), grupo II (enfermedad moderada), grupo III (enfermedad grave), grupo IV (enfermedad muy grave) y grupo V incluidos controles sanos. Resultados. Los anticuerpos Ig G contra la leishmaniasis en el grupo como probado por IFAT, se consideraron 1/64 a 1/16000 entre los grupos infectados. Hubo significación estadística con respecto a los valores medios de WBC [entre grupo control sano (V) y otros grupos (p=0.049)], RBC [entre estadio III-fase IV y otros grupos (p=0.001)], Hb [entre etapa I y estadio III, fase IV (p=0.008), HCT [entre etapa I y otros grupos (p=0.001)] MCHC [entre etapa I y etapa II- estadio IV (p=0.046)], creatinina sérica [p=0.008) estadio IV y estadio I-II en el grupo V], proteína sérica [(p=0.002) en estadio IV y estadio I-III- grupos sanos de control] y suero de albúmina [(p=0.004) I - II]. No hubo alteración en las concentraciones de CTnI, entre los grupos. El análisis de UPC reveló diferencia estadística entre el grupo control y los perros de estadio II a IV (p=0.000). Se detectaron alteraciones ECG moderadas o severas en 6/28 de los perros enfermos. En cuanto al examen ECHO, el valor LA / Ao presentó diferencias significativas (p=0.003) entre los grupos IV y otros. Conclusiones. Se puede sugerir que el establecimiento del Grupo de Trabajo de Leishvet a los de los perros clasificados en estadios I a IV, ECG [aumento de la aurícula / ventrículo izquierdo, hipoxia miocárdica] y ECHO [dilatación auricular izquierda, disminución / aumento de los LVID, Y la EF (disfunción sistólica)] alteraciones deben tomarse en cuenta junto con el análisis hematológico y bioquímico del suero.

Objective. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that cardiac alterations participate within different stages of CVL. Materials and methods. Twenty-eight dogs were diagnosed with CVL, were classified [based on clinical signs, rapid ELISA/IFAT, hematological and serum biochemical tests, urinary protein/creatinine ratio, ECG and ECHO]. as follows; group I (mild disease), group II (moderate disease), group III (severe disease), group IV (very severe disease) and group V included healthy controls. Results. Ig G antibodies against leishmaniasis as tested by IFAT, were deemed 1/64 to 1/16000 among infected groups. There were statistical significance regarding mean values for WBC [among healthy control group (V.) and other groups (p=0.049)], RBC [among stage III-stage IV and other groups (p=0.001)], Hb [between stage I and stage III-stage IV (p=0.008), HCT [between stage I and other groups (p = 0.001)] MCHC [between stage I and stage II- stage IV (p=0.046)], serum creatinine [(p=0.008) stage IV and stage I-II within group V], serum protein [(p=0.002) among stage IV and stage I-III- healthy control groups] and serum albumine [(p=0.004) among stage IV and stage I-II]. There was no alteration in CTnI concentrations, among groups. UPC analysis revealed statistical difference among control group and stage II to IV dogs (p=0.000). Moderate or severe ECG abnormalities were detected in 6/28 of diseased dogs. Regarding ECHO examination LA/Ao value presented significant difference (p=0.003) among stage IV and other groups. Conclusions. It may be suggested that establishing Leishvet Working Group to those of dogs classified into stage I to IV, ECG [left atrial/ventricular enlargement, myocardial hypoxia] and ECHO [left atrial dilation, decrased/increased LVIDs, decrased/increased LVIDd, shortened FS and EF (systolic dysfunction)] alterations must be taken into account along with hematological and serum biochemical analysis.
