Parámetros ecocardiográficos en modo b/m, electrocardiográficos, presión arterial, saturación de oxígeno, valores hematológicos evaluados en 2 pisos altitudinales en perros sanos

Abstract

The objective of the present investigation was to establish referential parameters echocardiographic, electrocardiographic, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and hematological values (Hct, Hb, Erythrocytes) in healthy dogs in two altitudinal levels. A total of 24 clinically healthy mongrel dogs were used, at different altitudinal floor with different sex, age, weight, each study was carried out for each patient. A descriptive statistic was used for the data of echocardiographic, electrocardiographic parameters, systolic blood pressure values, oxygen saturation and hematological values, the "T-Student" test was applied to determine statistical differences between the categories altitude, sex, age, weight, using the SPSS software. After analyzing the results, we obtained a significant statistical relationship (P <0.05) of the stroke volume in different altitudinal floors and weight (Kg), the sex and age variable did not present a significant statistical relationship (P> 0.05), the parameters Electrocardiographic and blood pressure, did not present statistical difference in any of the proposed variables, unlike the significant relationship (P <0.05) presented in the percentage of oxygen saturation according to the altitudinal floor and sex, the hematological values presented values with highly significant statistical relationship (P <0.05) at the level of altitudinal floors and sex. In conclusion, the altitudinal difference is a factor that can modify parameters such as: stroke volume, percentage of oxygen saturation, which decrease as altitude increases, increased hematimetric values at higher altitude, due to a greater erythropoiesis in presence of hypoxemia, all this in clinically healthy animals
