Cardiac pathology in Irish wolfhounds with heart disease
Journal of Veterinary Cardiology(2016)
Abstract
Gross and histological findings in the ventricular myocardium of IWs with clinical diagnosis of DCM were variable; in some dogs, histopathology was normal. In IWs, the etiology of DCM might be different from that in other breeds with conditions causing functional impairment rather than evident histological changes. Right and left atrial appendages from IWs with AF displayed substantial pathology (interstitial fibrosis and adipocytes) most prevalent in the right atrial appendages which may be correlated to the pathogenesis of AF. These preliminary findings merit further study.
