The first objective of this study was to establish clinically relevant techniques for cardiac echocardiography in nonanesthetized Galapagos ( complex) and Aldabra () tortoises. A second objective was to establish guidelines for determining normal echocardiographic anatomy and function in both species. Select echocardiographic reference values were defined for 17 healthy Galapagos tortoises and 27 healthy Aldabra tortoises.

- Recent studies focused on dogs with diet-associated dilated cardiomyopathy (daDCM), highlighting the need for research across various breeds.
- The study evaluated 60 dogs with DCM (majority on nontraditional diets) and 16 dogs with subclinical cardiac abnormalities (SCA), measuring changes in their heart health over time after diet modifications.
- Results showed that while there were minimal initial differences in taurine levels, dogs on nontraditional diets experienced noticeable improvements in heart function after dietary changes, indicating the potential benefits of diet on cardiac health in these dogs.*
