    Summary

    Diagnostic ultrasound, including M-mode and 2D echocardiography, images the heart to identify cardiac lesions and assess heart failure. This enables better diagnosis and referral for equine cardiac conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Cardiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Equine Health

    Background:

    • Diagnostic ultrasound provides non-invasive visualization of cardiac structures.
    • Echocardiography is crucial for assessing cardiac function and pathology in animals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the diagnostic capabilities of echocardiography in equine cardiology.
    • To emphasize the importance of understanding echocardiographic information for appropriate case referral.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing M-mode (motion) echocardiography to assess cardiac dimensions and motion.
    • Employing two-dimensional echocardiography for detailed anatomical imaging of the heart.

    Main Results:

    • Echocardiography accurately images the beating heart and quantifies cardiac dimensions.
    • Identifies congenital and acquired cardiac lesions, including septal defects, endocarditis, and pericardial effusion.
    • Assesses cardiac compensation and heart muscle failure, and detects intracardiac shunting and cardiomegaly.

    Conclusions:

    • M-mode and 2D echocardiography are complementary and essential tools in equine cardiac diagnostics.
    • Knowledge of echocardiographic techniques and findings is necessary for appropriate referral of horses with cardiac disease.
