Key result
Traditional laboratory tests and novel biomarkers, such as cardiac troponins and natriuretic peptides, are useful tools for the management and evaluation of dogs with cardiac diseases.
Why the study?
Evaluating cardiac disease in small animals through laboratory tests can be challenging.
This review highlights the utility of both traditional laboratory tests and novel cardiac biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of canine cardiac diseases.
Supports biomarker use in canine cardiac care; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
In small animals, cardiac disease evaluation through laboratory tests can be a challenge. This review will present both historical and updated perspectives on the clinical pathology of cardiac diseases in dogs and demonstrate that laboratory tests are useful tools for the management of patients with cardiac diseases.

Gavazza et al. (2020) conducted a review in Canine cardiac diseases. Laboratory tests and cardiac biomarkers was evaluated. Traditional laboratory tests and novel biomarkers, such as cardiac troponins and natriuretic peptides, are useful tools for the management and evaluation of dogs with cardiac diseases.
