Key result
FMD infection in buffalo calves was associated with ventricular premature depolarization, increased QRS duration, and significant increases in cTnI and CK-MB compared to healthy calves (P<0.01).

May warrant cardiac monitoring in FMD-infected buffalo calves; hypothesis-generating for myocardial injury in ruminants.
Observational (n=200)
Yes
p-value: p=<0.01
Hefnawy et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) (n=200). FMD infection vs. Healthy calves was evaluated on Cardiac biomarkers (cTnI, CK-MB, urea, CL, K, Na) and ECG changes (p=<0.01). FMD infection in buffalo calves was associated with ventricular premature depolarization, increased QRS duration, and significant increases in cTnI and CK-MB compared to healthy calves (P<0.01).
