摘要

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined as a cardiac muscle disease of unknown etiology and is characterized by enlargement of the cardiac chambers and severe systolic dysfunction. The disease represents one of the most common acquired cardiovascular diseases of dogs with a reported prevalence of 0.5 percent, and although it has been identified with increasing frequency in medium-sized breeds, it remains primarily a disease of large and giant purebreed dogs. The natural history of DCM has been better studied in Doberman Pinchers, Irish Wolfhound, and Great Danes who have a long period during which they have myocardial failure but not clinical signs (Occult DCM). The disease however progresses inevitably into congestive heart failure (CHF) if this progression is not preempted by sudden death. Once dogs affected show signs of CHF the short and long-term prognosis is poor despite adequate medical therapy. In people indicators predicting poor prognosis in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and CHF include age, etiology, left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), functional class, exercise capacity, pulmonary arterial pressure, increased level of plasma norepinephrine, and hyponatremia. In dogs few studies have been conducted to characterize prognostic indicators in patients with DCM, with pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, age, dyspnea, ascites, atrial fibrillation and bilateral CHF, representing the best independent parameters associated with significantly shorter survival times.Since CHF secondary to systolic dysfunction as happens in DCM is associated with substantial reduction in life expectancy, it would be important to be able to stratify patients with congestive heart failure according to groups with the highest risk for early death because aggressive medical treatment could be specifically applied to this population. Moreover, ideally, changes in prognostic variables after therapy should also indicate for a longer or shorter life expectancy.
