Associação entre a classificação por características clínicas hemodinâmicas e o prognóstico de edema pulmonar cardiogênico em cães

Abstract

With cardiopathic dogs, over time, develop cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to myocardial remodeling and changes in hemodynamics that their system suffers throughout the progression of the disease, which is chronic and degenerative. The initial treatment and prognosis of cases of cardiogenic pulmonary edema in dogs can be better defined through the use of hemodynamic clinical classification. This should be done by clinical examination as soon as the animal arrives at the hospital for emergency hospitalization. This method is used in human medicine with the same intention at a considerable time and there are already some studies that suggest its efficacy in veterinary medicine as well. Given the frequency in which heart diseases enter cardiogenic pulmonary edema, this study aims to evaluate the correlation between the proposed hemodynamic clinical classification and the prognosis of animals at admission.
