A survey of cardiac auscultatory findings in horses.
Equine Vet J. 1993 Sep; 25(5):409-15.EV

Abstract

Auscultation was used to examine 545 horses for cardiac murmurs and some arrhythmias. The most significant finding was the high prevalence of right-sided holosystolic or pansystolic plateau-type murmurs compatible with a diagnosis of tricuspid regurgitation in National Hunt racing Thoroughbreds of all ages (16.4%). This condition was found in 4.7% of flat-racing Thoroughbreds, 3.7% of non-racing Thoroughbreds and Thoroughbred crosses, and in none of the ponies examined. High prevalences of left-sided early systolic murmurs (53%), left-sided early diastolic murmurs (23%), right-sided early diastolic murmurs (22%) and second degree atrioventricular block (23%) were found in racehorses of both types.
