| Abstract | |
Large number of primates in captivity comes to death from cardiomyopathies. There are few studies in the literature determining the cardiac parameters of Alouatta guariba clamitans (A. clamitans) in captivity in Brazil, by radiography, eletrocardiogram and echodopplercardiography. Ten adult intact howler monkey (A. g. clamitans), were performed, under general anesthesia, the parameters of heart function were evaluated by complementary exams. Vertebral Heart Score (VHS) in dorsoventral, ventrodorsal and lateral projections were measured by radiography. Ejection Fraction, Shortening Fraction of Left Ventricle, Time of Left Ventricle Ejection, Left Atrial/Aortic Root Ratio, Ascending Aortic Diameter, Isovolumic Relaxion Time, E-Point Septal Separation, Peak Velocity of Pulmonary, Mitral, Tricuspid and Aortic blood flow and other values were measured by echodopplercardiography. Heart Rate and cardiac rhythm, mean eletric axis of QRS Complex, P, Q, R, S, T amplitude, P, PR Interval, QRS Complex, QT Interval duration time and ST segment were measured by electrocardiography. The exam’s technique were similar to humans. Echodopplercardiographic, radiographic, electrocardiographic and clinical parameters of howler monkey were described and correlated. The present results demonstrated the profiles of cardiovascular function examination and structure fo the A. g. clamitans. (AU) | |
