BACKGROUND
Cardiovascular disease, especially cardiomyopathy, was the major cause of death among owl monkeys (Aotus sp.) at a major colony and threatened colony sustainability. For this study, echocardiography (echo) and electrocardiography (ECG) normal values were established, and cardiomyopathy animals identified.
METHODS
Forty-eight owl monkeys were studied, 30 older than 10 years of age ('aged') and 8 of age 5 years ('young'). Eight aged owl monkeys had cardiomyopathy.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Aged Aotus had increased left ventricular posterior wall thickness over young animals. Left ventricular diameter and ejection fraction appeared to be the best identifying measurements for cardiomyopathy. There were no differences in the ECG.
背景
心血管疾病，尤其是心肌病，是一个主要群体中夜猴（夜猴属）死亡的主要原因，并威胁到群体的可持续性。在本研究中，建立了超声心动图（回声）和心电图（ECG）的正常值，并识别出患有心肌病的动物。
方法
对48只夜猴进行了研究，其中30只年龄超过10岁（“老年”），8只年龄为5岁（“幼年”）。8只老年夜猴患有心肌病。
结果与结论
老年夜猴的左心室后壁厚度比幼年动物增加。左心室直径和射血分数似乎是识别心肌病的最佳测量指标。心电图方面没有差异。
