Determinación de los niveles séricos de enzimas cardíacas en perros adultos con enfermedad cardiovascular y aparentemente normales

Abstract

Para evaluar su uso como predictor de daño miocárdico en insuficiencia cardíaca se determinaron los niveles séricos de las enzimas Asparto aminotransferasa (AST), Creatina fosfokinasa (CK), isoenzima Creatina fosfokinasa – MB (CK-MB) y Lactato Deshidrogenasa (LDH) en perros adultos con enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV) y aparentemente sanos. Fueron estudiados 25 animales sin distinción de sexo y raza, Los cuales se dividieron en 2 grupos: 10 animales aparentemente sanos (G1) y 15 animales con enfermedad Cardiovascular (G2). Se muestrearon sueros de ambos grupos y se analizaron por espectrofotometría. Los valores obtenidos fueron procesados mediante la prueba estadística “el Test de la t de student para comparar dos muestras independientes”. Los resultados indican que los niveles séricos de la Isoenzima CK-MB tuvieron diferencia estadística significativa (p menor a 0.05) a favor de los animales con ECV; y el resto de enzimas (AST, CK Y LDH) no obtuvieron diferencia estadística significativa. Se concluye que la CK-MB puede servir como predictor de daño miocárdico progresivo en la insuficiencia cardíaca canina. Palabras Clave: Asparto aminotransferasa (AST), Creatina fosfokinasa (CK), isoenzima Creatina fosfokinasa – MB (CK-MB), Lactato Deshidrogenasa (LDH), Enfermedad cardiovascular, Perros adultos.

--- Serum levels of the enzymes Asparte amino transferase ( AST ), Creatine kinase ( CK ), the MB fraction of Creatine kinase ( CK - MB ) and Lactate Dehydrogenase ( LDH ) were measured in adult dogs with cardiovascular illness and apparently healthy; they could evaluate their use as predictor of myocardial damage in heart failure. 25 animals irrespective of sex and race were studied, them as they split in 2 groups: 10 apparently healthy animals (G1) and 15 animals with illness Cardiovascular (G2). We sampled serums in the 2 groups and they were examined for spectrophotometry. The obtained values were analyzed by means of the statistical test the Test of student's t to compare two independent samples. The results indicate than levels of CK-MB had statistical significant difference (p menor a 0.05) in favor to dogs with cardiovascular illness. The rest of enzymes (AST, CK and LDH) did not obtain statistical significant difference. We Conclude than CK- MB can serve as predictor of progressive myocardial damage in the heart failure. Key Words: Asparte amino transferase (AST), Creatine kinase (CK), the MB fraction of Creatine kinase (CK - MB) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), cardiovascular illness, Adult dog.
