Abstract

Echocardiography is an established and noninvasive diagnostic tool used in herpetologic cardiology. Various cardiac lesions have been previously described in reptiles with the exception of restrictive cardiomyopathy. In this case report, restrictive cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure associated with left atrial and sinus venosus dilation were diagnosed in a 2-yr-old captive lethargic McDowell's carpet python ( Morelia spilota mcdowelli), based on echocardiographic, Doppler, and histopathologic examinations. This cardiomyopathy was also associated with thrombosis within the sinus venosus.

摘要

超声心动图是一种用于爬虫类心脏病学的成熟且无创的诊断工具。除限制性心肌病外，先前已描述过爬行动物的各种心脏病变。在本病例报告中，通过超声心动图、多普勒和组织病理学检查，在一条2岁的圈养嗜睡的麦克道威尔地毯蟒（Morelia spilota mcdowelli）中诊断出与左心房和静脉窦扩张相关的限制性心肌病和充血性心力衰竭。这种心肌病还与静脉窦内的血栓形成有关。
