Abstract

Heart disease in birds contributes to premature death and is usually detected postmortem. Echocardiography is a sensitive and noninvasive diagnostic modality but reported standard values for many species of birds, including American flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber), are unavailable. Echocardiography was opportunistically performed on 30 unsedated American flamingos during their annual routine health examination. Structural heart disease was not found in any of the examined birds. However, 18 birds showed varying degrees of dynamic intraventricular obstruction. Echocardiographic parameters are reported. Benign neurocardiogenic weakness or syncopal events during handling were suspected in three birds. Stress combined with an intraventricular obstruction is believed to have triggered a cascade of parasympathetic innervation and sympathetic inhibition, similar to neurally mediated reflex syncope in humans.

三十只美洲火烈鸟(phoenicopterus ruber)的超声心动图和一例疑似神经介导的反射性晕厥。
鸟类心脏病会导致过早死亡,而且通常是在死后才被发现。超声心动图是一种灵敏的无创诊断方法,但许多鸟类物种(包括美洲火烈鸟)的超声心动图标准值尚未公布。在对30只未休眠的美洲火烈鸟进行年度例行健康检查时,偶然对它们进行了超声心动图检查。所有受检鸟类均未发现结构性心脏病。然而,有18只火烈鸟出现了不同程度的动态心室内梗阻。报告了超声心动图参数。有三只鸽子被怀疑在操作过程中出现良性神经性心因性虚弱或晕厥。压力加上心室内阻塞被认为引发了一连串的副交感神经支配和交感神经抑制,类似于人类由神经介导的反射性晕厥。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (JZWM) is considered one of the major sources of information on the biology and veterinary aspects in the field. It stems from the founding premise of AAZV to share zoo animal medicine experiences. The Journal evolved from the long history of members producing case reports and the increased publication of free-ranging wildlife papers. The Journal accepts manuscripts of original research findings, case reports in the field of veterinary medicine dealing with captive and free-ranging wild animals, brief communications regarding clinical or research observations that may warrant publication. It also publishes and encourages submission of relevant editorials, reviews, special reports, clinical challenges, abstracts of selected articles and book reviews. The Journal is published quarterly, is peer reviewed, is indexed by the major abstracting services, and is international in scope and distribution. Areas of interest include clinical medicine, surgery, anatomy, radiology, physiology, reproduction, nutrition, parasitology, microbiology, immunology, pathology (including infectious diseases and clinical pathology), toxicology, pharmacology, and epidemiology.
