History - Collapse
How can you tell the difference between
seizure and syncope?
– Urination/defecation/vocalization/paddling
– Stiff/opisthotonus or flaccid
• narcolepsy
– Twitching and muscle fasciculations
– Cyanosis, pallor
– Abnormal behavior before and after
– Duration of stiffness/opisthotonus
Many times, you can’t (especially when short)
History - Collapse
What causes syncope?
– Bradyarrhythmia
• 3rd degree heart block
• Sick sinus syndrome
(define)
(define)
– Period of asystole
• Sick sinus syndrome
• Vagal surge
(examples)
– Abdominal dz & retching
– Intubation (brachycephalic)
History - Collapse
What causes syncope?
– Tachyarrhythmia burst
• Vtach (causes)
– BCM
– Myocarditis
– Myocardial hypoxia
– Abdominal pathology (spleen)
• Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) (define)
• Re-entry pathway (define)
• Atrial fibrillation (Afib)
• SSS
(3 ways)
History - Collapse
What causes syncope?
– Obstruction of a great vessel or heart chamber
• Thrombus
• neoplasia
– Increased oxygen demand can not be met due
to severe cardiovascular or pulmonary disease
• AKA Exercise intolerance
History - Cough
How can you tell the difference between
cardiac and respiratory cough/dyspnea?
– Honking cough
– Soft moist cough
– Dry hacking cough
– Coughing/gagging up white foamy fluid
– Coughing up blood tinged fluid
– Cough when drinking water
– Exercise induced cough
– Presence of a murmur (big dog, little dog)
Many times, you can’t without PE/diagnostics
History - Cough
Cough on tracheal palpation
– Any dog or cat will cough a few times on
vigorous tracheal palpation
– Prolonged coughing after tracheal palpation
often indicates pathology
(cardio or resp?)
– Prolonged coughing equally likely with airway
disease and cardiovascular disease
History - Cough
Dogs vs Cats
– Coughing cats
• much more likely to have respiratory
disease than heart failure
• Cats with heart failure more often present
with acute and severe dyspnea
• Some owners can find it difficult to
distinguish vomiting from coughing
– Coughing dogs can have either or both
Exam – Stethoscopes
•
•
•
•
Ear pieces fit snugly in the ears
Angle fits your ear canals
Poor fit, and you’ll miss low intensity murmurs
Tubing longer than 18 inches will dampen sounds
Electronic stethoscopes (microphone based)
• Difficult to distinguish heart from lung sounds
• Difficult to distinguish patient from background noise
• Meditron sensor based scope eliminates problems
– Connect to computer & record for PCG consult
Exam – Stethoscopes
Pediatric stethoscope
• For cats and small dogs
• Will distort and decrease sound intensity if used on
a medium or large dog
Adult stethoscope
• For medium to large dogs
• Won’t localize murmurs properly in cats and small
dogs
Exam – Stethoscopes
Diaphragm
• Filters out low frequency sounds to hear high
frequency sounds better
• Press firmly against the chest
Bell
• For low frequency sounds (S3 S4 in dogs)
• Press gently against the chest
Auscultation
Minimizing patient noise
• Panting, whining – close mouth, occlude nostrils
• Purring
– Aversives – turn water on, show another animal
– Gentle pressure on the larynx
– Cotton ball with alcohol to the nose
• Sometimes sedation is needed (chart)
– Acepromazine 0.0125-0.025 mg/lb, maximum 1 mg
per dog
– Butorphanol 0.1 mg/lb or buprenorphine 0.01-0.02
mg/kg
– IV the fastest and most profound
Auscultation
• Patient is standing in a quiet place
– Lateral recumbency and listen from bottom if muffled
• Firm pressure with the diaphragm to avoid
hair noises
• get comfortable ausculting heart and
palpating pulses at the same time
• Listen for at least 2 minutes
– Heart - R and L apex, L bases
– L armpit
– Lungs – RDCr, RDCd, RVentral, LDCrd,
LDCd, LVentral
Auscultation
• Is the murmur hemodynamically significant?
–
–
–
–
Prolonged and loud - yes
pansystolic - yes
Diastolic - yes
Low intensity, early systolic – maybe not so
much
Loudness is not necessarily correlated to
presence of heart failure
Auscultation – Lung Sounds
• Snaps crackles and wheezes
(cardio or resp?)
– More likely respiratory in dogs
(audio)
– Not very sensitive for pulmonary edema
– Beware similar hair rubbing noises
• Pleural/pericardial Rubs
• Dull/absent lung sounds
(audio)
(dog vs cat) (causes)
– Lung consolidation
– Pneumothorax
– pleural effusion
• Harsh lung sounds with no murmur in cat
– think asthma or heartworm disease

prolapse, in early CVD
• Snapping of the chordae tendinae as they go
taught
– PMI left apex

(audio)
– May me accompanied by a systolic murmur
• Early, late, or holosystolic
– Often years until CHF develops
Auscultation – 3 Heart Sounds
How Can you tell the difference?
Does in Matter?
– Systolic less likely pathogenic
– Systolic Click sounds sharper
– Diastolic more likely pathogenic
How Can you tell if systolic/diastolic?
– Pulses happen during systole
How Can you tell if HS3 or HS4?
– Can’t tell if heart rate is > 160-180
– just do a cardio work-up

• Just hear the murmur with no distinct HS
Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia
•
•
•
•
Heart rate increases during respiration
Due to increased vagal tone
Normal variation in dogs (not cats)
If present, heart failure is not likely
– Increased sympathetic tone overrides
• Pronounced in disease processes of
increased vagal tone
– Increased CSF pressure
– Chronic respiratory disease
– Thoracic or abdominal disease
Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia
• DDx
– Afib with a normal ventricular rate
– Frequent APCs or VCPs
– Intermittent SSS
None of these vary consistently with
the respiratory cycle
• RSA is regularly irregular
• Others are usually irregularly irregular
Physical Exam – Ascites
• most common cause of cardiogenic ascites
in cats (?)
– TVD
• Tap and do fluid analysis to distinguish
between transudate, modified transudate
and exudate
(handout)
• Usually accumulates slowly, though owners
often don’t notice until huge
• If truly does develop over days, think
pericardial tamponade
Exam – Mucous Membranes
Cyanosis
• > 4 g/dL of deoxygenated Hb in the blood
– Severely anemic animals don’t turn blue
– Even with life threatening hypoxia
• Differential cyanosis
(define)
– Front of body pink, back of body blue
– Reverse PDA, FATE
(why rPDA) (how to diagnose?)
– Compare pulse oximetry or blood gases from front of body
with rear of body
– Weak or no femoral pulses, pain, paresis with FATE
Exam – Pulses
Technique
• Occlude the pulse
• Then slowly release pressure until maximum pulse
is detected
Pulse Pressure = Systolic – Diastolic
• Femoral pulse usually not palpable when MAP
<50mmHg
• Dorsal pedal pulse not palpable when SAP
<80mmHg
Exam – Pulses
Bounding Pulses (water hammer)
• Increased systolic pressure (increased SV)

– Aortic regurgitation
(most common cause)
• Aortic endocarditis > SAS
Exam – Pulses
Weak Pulses

(audio)
Exam – Jugular Veins
• Clip or wet the fur over the jugular veins
• Evaluate sitting or standing (not sternal)

– suggests increased RA pressure
(normal dogs cats?)
• 2-3 cm H20 in cats, 5-8 cm H20 in dogs
– Or less often jugular or caval occlusion
• Jugular Pulse
(normal dogs cats)
– 5-8cm dorsal to RA in dogs, 2-3 cm in cats
– Too high indicates increased right heart pressure
• If abnormalities above not noted, occlude at
thoracic inlet, and release

Exam – Jugular Veins
Jugular distension, high pulse, +HJR
• Jugular/caval occlusion
(causes)
