Abstract

This work aimed to analyze the frequency of the main cardiopathies in dogs treated in the region of Bauru, SP, Brazil. A population of 466 dogs (285 females and 181 males) referred to a veterinary cardiology center from January 1st, 2014 to July 31st, 2015 was evaluated by echocardiographic examination. Factors such as race, age and sex were considered. Valvular disease was the most prevalent heart condition, followed by pulmonary hypertension. The increase in complementary diagnostic methods in the clinical practice has increased the possibility of diagnosis of cardiopathies in veterinary medicine.
