Resumo: The Military Police of Rio de Janeiro state use dogs as a decisive tool for patrol and detection of drugs, weapons, and explosives. Complementary tests, such as echocardiography, are essential to maintain the integrity of these animals. This study aimed to evaluate the echocardiographic parameters of the working dogs belonging to the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro and compare them with the available data. Echocardiographic evaluation was performed on 48 healthy adult dogs from the Canine Action Battalion of the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The sample consisted of 13 Labrador Retrievers, 12 Malinois Belgian Shepherds, 10 German Shepherds, 8 Dobermann Pinschers, and 5 Dutch Shepherds. Echocardiographic variables were correlated with body weight (BW). A positive correlation (P=0.0142, r=0.6837) between BW and the diameter of the left atrium was found in Malinois Belgian Shepherds. In German Shepherds, a positive correlation between BW and the internal diameter of the right ventricle during diastole (P=0.0320, r=0.6757) was observed; in addition, a positive correlation between BW and left ventricular internal diameter (P=0.0344, r=0.6689) during diastole was also found. Echocardiographic evaluations of these working dogs differed slightly from those previously established for similar-sized dog breeds.

A realização de testes complementares como ecocardiogramas, é importante para manter a integridade dos animais. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os parâmetros ecocardiográficos de cães trabalhadores da Polícia Militar do Rio de Janeiro e compará-los com os dados disponíveis na literatura. A avaliação ecocardiográfica foi realizada em quarenta e oito cães adultos saudáveis do Batalhão de Ação Canina da Polícia Militar do Rio de Janeiro. A amostra consistia de 13 Retriever de Labrador, 12 Pastores Belgas de Malinois, 10 Pastores Alemães, 8 Dobermann Pinschers e 5 Pastores Holandeses. Todas as variáveis ecocardiográficas foram correlacionadas com o peso corporal (PC). Foi encontrada uma correlação positiva (P=0,0142, r=0,6837) entre o peso e o diâmetro do átrio esquerdo nos Pastores Belgas de Malinois. Foi observada uma correlação positiva (P=0,0320, r= 0,6757) entre o peso corporal e o diâmetro interno do ventrículo direito durante a diástole para os pastores alemães. Além disso, foi encontrada uma correlação positiva (P= 0,0344, r=0,6689) entre o PC e o diâmetro interno do ventrículo esquerdo durante a diástole para Pastores Alemães ou Holandeses. As avaliações ecocardiográficas desses cães de trabalho diferiram ligeiramente dos padrões estabelecidos na literatura para raças porte semelhantes.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2022-06-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpeer reviewedAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/124810.29374/2527-2179.bjvm001322Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 44 (2022); e001322Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 44 (2022); e0013222527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1248/1234https://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1248/1237Copyright (c) 2022 Alex Moreira de Lima, Rodrigo Mencalha Moreira, Marcelo Salvador Gomes, Marcia Torres Ramos, Carlos Augusto dos Santos-Sousa, Paulo Souza-Júnior, Marcelo Abidu-Figueiredohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Lima, Alex Moreira Moreira, Rodrigo MencalhaGomes, Marcelo SalvadorRamos, Marcia Torresdos Santos-Sousa, Carlos AugustoSouza-Júnior, PauloAbidu-Figueiredo, Marcelo2022-07-01T14:34:42Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1248Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2022-07-01T14:34:42Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false
