Effect of the Sequential Administration of Two Doses of Furosemide on Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension in Thoroughbred Horses
Compared with a single 250-mg dose of furosemide given intravenously 4 h prior to exercise, the administration of two sequential intravenous doses of furosemide (4 and 2 h prior to exercise) does not cause further attenuation of exercise-induced pulmonary capillary hypertension in Thoroughbred horses exercising at their maximal heart rate. Therefore, the sequential administration of two doses o...
متن کاملChapter 2 Altitude affects the prevalence and severity of exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage in South African Thoroughbred racehorses
We sought to determine the prevalence and severity of exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) in South African Thoroughbred racehorses in a racing jurisdiction that did not allow furosemide and nasal dilator strips, racing at different altitudes and to determine the relationship between EIPH and racing performance. The study was an observational cross-sectional study conducted in 1,005 Th...
متن کاملVery high pressures are required to cause stress failure of pulmonary capillaries in thoroughbred racehorses.
Thoroughbred horses develop extremely high pulmonary vascular pressures during galloping, all horses in training develop exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage, and we have shown that this is caused by stress failure of pulmonary capillaries. It is known that the capillary transmural pressure (Ptm) necessary for stress failure is higher in dogs than in rabbits. The present study was designed to ...
متن کاملExERCISE-INDUCED PULMONARy HEMORRHAGE
Exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) occurs in horses that race at high speeds, such as Thoroughbred and Standardbred racehorses. The disease is almost unknown in endurance horses or draft breeds. As a general rule, the more intense the exercise or higher the speed attained, the greater the proportion of horses with EIPH. The prevalence of EIPH varies with the method used to detect it a...
متن کاملPulmonary Vascular Pressures of EIPH-Positive Thoroughbred Horses During Exercise Performed at Maximal Heart Rate After Administration of Various Doses of Furosemide
A linear dose response to furosemide in terms of attenuation of the exercise-induced pulmonary capillary hypertension does not exist in Thoroughbred horses. Furosemide 2.0 mg/kg IV given 4 h before exercise further significantly ( p , 0.05) attenuates the exercise-induced pulmonary capillary hypertension compared with the 250-mg dose routinely used at Illinois racetracks. Authors’ address: 212 ...
