Losartan versus enalapril in dogs asymptomatic carriers of myxomatous degeneration of mitral valve
.
The myxomatous mitral valve degeneration (DMVM) is the most common heart disease in dogs. The treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF) from DMVM is based on the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitor) Receptor antagonists of angiotensin II (ARBs) promote complete blockade of angiotensin II, and are used in the treatment of CHF in humans, but is not common in dogs. The objective of this research was to compare the clinical responses of dogs carriers DMVM treated with enalapril-ACE inhibitors, losartan-ARBs. Thirteen dogs with DMVM and ICC class Ib were randomized into two groups as follows: G1-enalapril and G2-losartan. On physical examination, electrocardiogram and blood pressure were measured on days 0, 14, 28 an... Ver más
