Özet:

 An acute or chronic inflammation of the trachea and bronchial airways, which can spread to the lungs, is called tracheobronchitis. Monitoring basic echocardiographic parameters in dogs with tracheobronchitis may be useful in detecting early cardiac signs of pulmonary hypertension PH. Pulmonary artery PA dilation is one of the cardiac abnormalities associated with pulmonary hypertension. This study aimed to main pulmonary artery diameter and main pulmonary artery MPAaorta Ao ratio in dogs with tracheobronchitis. The animal material of the study consisted of 90 dogs with tracheobronchitis aged 1-14 years mean 73 years, mostly small breeds Terrier, Pomeranian, Russian Poodle, et al.. Two-dimensional, M-mode and pulse wave Doppler techniques were used in echocardiographic examination. The diameters of the MPA and Ao were measured in the right parasternal short axis view and the MPAAo ratio was calculated. The mean MPA diameter, Ao diameter and MPAAo ratio of dogs with tracheobronchitis were calculated as 1.200.31 cm, 1.370.36 cm and 0.900.16, respectively. There was a strong positive correlation between body weight and pulmonary artery diameter r0.754, P0.001. As a result, the MPAAo ratio in dogs with tracheobronchitis included in the study was within the values reported for healthy dogs. Based on basic echocardiographic findings and pulmonary artery measurements, no signs of pulmonary hypertension were detected in dogs with tracheobronchitis. However, it can be argued that due to the progressive nature of PH and its poor prognosis, a more comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation may be useful to identify dogs with the potential to develop PH.

 Trakeobronşit trakea ve bronşiyal hava yollarının akut veya kronik yangısına denir. Pnömoni, trakeobronşiyal hastalık ve infiltratif pulmoner hastalık gibi birçok solunum yolu hastalığı köpeklerde pulmoner hipertansiyon ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Trakeobronşitli köpeklerde temel ekokardiyografik parametrelerin izlenmesi, pulmoner hipertansiyonun PH erken kardiyak belirtilerinin tespit edilmesinde faydalı olabilir. Pulmoner arter PA dilatasyonu, pulmoner hipertansiyon ile ilişkili kardiyak anormalliklerden biridir. Bu çalışmada trakeobronşitli köpeklerde ana pulmoner arter çapı ve ana pulmoner arter MPAaort Ao oranının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın hayvan materyalini Terrier, Pomeranian, Russian Poodle, Pekingese, Pug gibi çoğunlukla küçük ırklardan oluşan 1-14 yaş arası ortalama 73 yaş toplam 90 trakeobronşitli köpek oluşturdu. Ekokardiyografik muayanede iki boyutlu 2D, M-mod ve PW Doppler inceleme teknikleri kullanıldı. MPA ve Ao çapları sağ parasternal kısa eksen görünümünde ölçüldü ve MPAAo oranı hesaplandı. Trakeobronşitli köpeklerin ortalama MPA çapı, Ao çapı ve MPAAo oranı sırasıyla 1.200.31 cm, 1.370.36 cm ve 0.900.16 olarak hesaplandı. Canlı ağırlı ile pulmoner arter çapı arasında güçlü bir pozitif korelasyon vardı r0.754, P0.001. Sonuç olarak, çalışmaya dahil edilen trakeobronşitli köpeklerde MPAAo oranı sağlıklı köpekler için bildirilen referans değerler arasındaydı. Temel ekokardiyografik bulgulara ve pulmoner arter ölçümlerine dayanarak, trakeobronşitli köpeklerde pulmoner hipertansiyon belirtisi tespit edilmemiştir. Bununla birlikte, PHnin progresif yapısı ve kötü prognozu nedeniyle, PH gelişme potansiyeli olan köpekleri belirlemek için daha kapsamlı bir ekokardiyografik değerlendirmenin yararlı olabileceği söylenebilir.
