Chapter 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 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 کاملEpidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in a population of harness Standardbred racehorses in training
BACKGROUND There is a substantial paucity of studies concerning musculoskeletal injuries in harness Standardbred racehorses. Specifically, little is known about the epidemiology of exercise-related musculoskeletal injuries. Most studies on this subject involve Thoroughbred racehorses, whose biomechanics and racing speed differ from Standardbred, making comparisons difficult. Here, a population ...
متن کاملCharacteristic of Inflammatory Airway Disease in Japanese Thoroughbred Racehorses
Inflammatory airway disease (IAD) is a common cause of poor performance, interruption of training and premature retirement in racehorses. It is also reported that up to 80% of horses are affected at some point in the first years of training in UK and Australia. However, no studies with regard to the information on occurrence of IAD in Japanese Thoroughbred racehorses have been reported. To inve...
متن کاملExercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage by K.W. Hinchcliff; P2663.1205
Exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) is ubiquitous among Thoroughbred racehorses throughout the world, and there is no apparent important geographic variation in incidence of the condition. Although EIPH is very common, the exact incidence of the condition varies depending on the method of diagnosis and the frequency of examination. Examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) or t...
