Capture myopathy (CM) is described in wild animals as a metabolic syndrome resulting from the extreme stress suffered during and after capture, handling, restraint, and transport. Although CM has been characterized in many species of cetaceans, descriptions of cardiac injury-an important component of this syndrome, and, according to previous authors, comparable to the existing human pathology so-called stress cardiomyopathy (SCMP)-are still rare. Therefore, the main aim of this report is to illustrate, for the first time, the biochemical analysis, and gross, histopathological, histochemical and immunohistochemical features of CM, and more specifically of the SCMP involved in this syndrome, caused by the live-stranding and consequent rehabilitation attempt, for a certain period of time, in a juvenile male Risso's dolphin (). The animal presented elevated values of creatine kinase, cardiac troponin I and blood urea nitrogen, with some variations during the rehabilitation period. Histologically, we detected vascular changes and acute degenerative lesions analogous to the ones observed in humans with SCMP. We consider this study to be an important contribution to the study of cetaceans since it could help in decision-making and treatment procedures during live-strandings and improve conservation efforts by reducing the mortality of these animals.
捕获性肌病（CM）在野生动物中被描述为一种代谢综合征，它是由捕获、处理、限制和运输过程中及之后所遭受的极端应激导致的。尽管CM已在许多鲸类物种中得到描述，但关于心脏损伤（该综合征的一个重要组成部分，且根据先前作者的说法，与现有的人类病理学中所谓的应激性心肌病（SCMP）相当）的描述仍然很少。因此，本报告的主要目的是首次阐述一只幼年雄性里氏海豚因搁浅及随后一段时间的康复尝试导致的CM，更具体地说是该综合征中涉及的SCMP的生化分析、大体、组织病理学、组织化学和免疫组织化学特征。该动物的肌酸激酶、心肌肌钙蛋白I和血尿素氮值升高，在康复期间有一些变化。组织学上，我们检测到血管变化和急性退行性病变，类似于在患有SCMP的人类中观察到的病变。我们认为这项研究对鲸类研究具有重要贡献，因为它有助于在动物搁浅期间的决策和治疗程序，并通过降低这些动物的死亡率来改进保护工作。
