Description
Right-sided congestive heart failure results in elevated central venous pressure. Manifestations of right-sided congestive heart failure are species-specific.
Signs
-Edema (See below for species differences)
-Hepatomegaly
-Pleural Effusion
Species Differences
Horse & Ox: Ventral Abdomen & Brisket edema
Dog: Ascites (abdomenal edema)
Cat: Hydrothorax (thoracic edema)
Causes
1. Left-Sided Heart Failure
2. Cardiomyopathies
3. Pericarditis
4. Hydropericardium
5. Increased Pulmonary Resistance
6. Myocardial Inflammation & Degeneration
7. Valvular Disease
8. Tumours (heart base)
