Spontaneously occurring heart failure in dogs was associated with reduced cardiac myosin adenosinetriphosphatase activity compared to normal dogs.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Cardiac myosin was isolated from the hearts of seven dogs with naturally occurring heart failure. Six of the seven dogs had heart failure secondary to acquired mitral valvular insufficiency; the seventh was believed to have a primary myocardiopathy. The characteristics of this myosin were compared to cardiac myosin from a group of normal dogs studied concurrently.
