Investigation of chronic edema linked to cor pulmonale in cattle reveals toxic plant as a possible cause, highlighting its impact on health.

Chronic edema is characterized by significant swelling and right heart failure due to pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Affected cattle showed marked hypertrophy of smooth muscle cells, with arteries thicker than controls by significant margins.
This assessment of 15 outbreaks across 18 months identifies toxic plants as potential contributors to the observed disease.
Understanding the epidemiology and pathology of this condition may help in developing preventive strategies in cattle herds.

Caymmi et al. (2025) studied this question.
