Abstract: | Background Canine pyometra is a common disease in countries where routine spaying of young dogs is not common practice. This disease
is known to lead to systemic inflammation potentially affecting multiple organs in the body, including the heart. Cardiac-specific
Troponin I (cTnI) is a sensitive marker of myocardial cell damage, which can result from ischemia, trauma, toxins or inflammation.
Dogs with pyometra are also exposed to anaesthesia which can potentially result in myocardial cell damage. The aims of the
study were 1) to evaluate the occurrence of myocardial cell damage as indicated by increased serum concentrations of cTnI
in dogs with pyometra and relate these to presence of systemic inflammation and 2) to evaluate the change in cTnI-concentrations
after anaesthesia and surgery. |
