| Popis: |
Pulmonary arterial perfusion was evaluated by perfusion lung scans in ten dogs experimentally infected with heartworm. After larval inoculation, scans were done once a month for 11 months. In 8 of 10 dogs, pulmonary arterial perfusion deficits were detected. The perfusion deficits involved the left cranial, right cranial, and right caudal lung lobes. Generally, there was a poor correlation between vascular abnormalities detected on the survey thoracic radiographs and the perfusion deficits detected by lung scanning. The perfusion deficits did not produce clinical signs or pulmonary infarction. |
