Article Synopsis
- - Exercise-induced hypervolemia is a common occurrence in racehorses, but when the pressure difference across the blood-gas barrier exceeds a certain limit, it can lead to exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH).
- - The study analyzed six thoroughbreds to see how changes in blood volume (BV) after blood depletion and reinfusion affected various pressures, including left ventricular (LV) and pulmonary arterial wedge (PAW) pressures, which in turn influenced the severity of EIPH.
- - Results indicated that while circulating blood volume significantly impacted EIPH severity and various pressures, exercise intensity did not have a major effect, suggesting a direct link between blood volume changes and the risk of EIPH in racehorses.
Article Synopsis
- * Six racehorses were tested under three scenarios: regular exercise, exercise after furosemide treatment, and exercise after blood removal followed by reinfusion.
- * Results showed that fluid volumes in the body compartments remained stable during regular exercise but decreased significantly after furosemide, while blood reinfusion improved total body water and intracellular fluid levels.
