Torsemide can be used for long-term management of congestive heart failure in equids: a description of 12 cases (2019-2024).

Objective: Information about congestive heart failure (CHF) treatment in the horse is limited. Torsemide, an oral loop diuretic, is increasingly used in humans, dogs, and cats with CHF. Torsemide is well absorbed and induces diuresis in healthy horses, and its use in a horse with CHF has been reported.

Background: Fitness assessment of horses remains challenging. Heart rate variability (HRV) can be used to monitor human athlete's training, but its value is unknown in horses.
Hypothesis: The linear domain HRV variables are affected by fitness.

Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) has previously been used as a biomarker for cardiac disease in humans and dogs, however, studies in horses are not yet available.
Objectives: To determine if adult horses with moderate or severe mitral valve regurgitation have a different serum miRNA expression profile compared to healthy controls.
Study Design: Retrospective cross-sectional.
Cardiac Structure and Function of Elite Australian Jockeys Compared to the General Population: An Observational Cross-Sectional Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the cardiac structure and function of professional Australian jockeys compared to the general population, focusing on the impacts of the physically demanding nature of thoroughbred racing.
- Results showed that jockeys are smaller and lighter but have larger left ventricular (LV) end diastolic volume and LV mass index, indicating cardiac adaptations likely due to their profession.
- Although the overall global longitudinal strain (GLS) was similar between the two groups, 17% of jockeys exhibited an abnormal GLS, suggesting potential cardiovascular issues among some jockeys.
Quadricuspid aortic valve in a 16-year-old Quarter horse.

A 16-year-old horse, 400 kg, male, Quarter horse gelding was examined for a cardiac murmur that had not been previously heard. Physical examination revealed a regularly irregular pulse and a grade III/VI, decrescendo, diastolic murmur with a point of maximum intensity over the left heart base. Base-apex standard electrocardiographic examination at rest showed sinus rhythm with second-degree atrio-ventricular blocks.
