We present the case of a female dog that was evaluated following an episode of heart failure and was subsequently diagnosed with anaplasmosis. Cardiac assessment revealed evidence of myocardial injury, systolic dysfunction, and conduction system abnormalities. This case highlights the importance of considering infection as a potential cause of myocarditis, especially in instances of unexplained heart failure and elevated troponin levels in the absence of other underlying conditions.
我们报告了一例雌性犬的病例,该犬在出现心力衰竭发作后接受评估,随后被诊断为无形体病。心脏评估显示有心肌损伤、收缩功能障碍和传导系统异常的证据。该病例强调了将感染视为心肌炎潜在病因的重要性,尤其是在无其他潜在疾病的情况下出现不明原因心力衰竭和肌钙蛋白水平升高的病例中。
