10 Questions
Match the following clinical findings with their potential implications in equine cardiovascular disorders:
HR of 160 bpm = Elevated heart rate suggestive of distress or pain Prominent jugular pulsation = Indication of venous congestion or right-sided heart failure Decreased HR to 60 bpm = Suggestive of improvement in clinical condition Sudden increase in HR to 100 bpm = Indication of deterioration or recurrence of cardiovascular issues
Match the following diagnostic findings with their significance in equine cardiovascular disorders:
Elevated PCV (48%) = Significant in indicating dehydration or hemoconcentration Blood lactate (5.4 mmol/l) = Significant in indicating tissue hypoperfusion or hypoxia Normal electrolytes = Indicative of no significant electrolyte imbalances ECG abnormalities = Significant in indicating cardiac rhythm disturbances or conduction abnormalities
Match the following interventions with their effects on equine cardiovascular disorders:
IV fluids administration = Decreased heart rate, clinical improvement Overnight IV fluids = Good appetite observed the following morning Decreased heart rate = Clinical improvement Sudden increase in heart rate = Indication for further evaluation and monitoring
Match the following laboratory findings with their diagnostic significance in equine cardiovascular disorders:
Elevated cTnI (4.2 ng/ml) = Indication of myocardial injury or damage Elevated cTnI (5.4 ng/ml) = Further indication of myocardial injury or damage Normal peritoneal fluid analysis = Indicative of no significant abdominal pathology Abnormal ECG = Significant in indicating cardiac rhythm disturbances or conduction abnormalities
Match the following equine cardiovascular disorders with their clinical presentation:
Colic = Acute discomfort, pawing, wanting to lie down Cardiac disorders = Elevated heart rate, abnormal ECG, elevated cardiac troponin I Gastric reflux = 6 liters obtained, hives present on the abdomen Jugular pulsation = Prominent, extending half-way up the neck
