Abstract

A 1-year-old castrated male Maltese dog(weighing 2.4 kg) was presented with primary complaints of occasional coughing, dyspnea and exercise intolerance. Based on diagnostic findings including paradoxical split S2, diastolic regurgitant murmur, marked dilation of pulmonary artery, right ventricular eccentric hypertrophy with thickening of ventricular septum, severe tricuspid and pulmonic regurgitation(5.4 m/sec and 3.4 m/sec, respectively) and the absence of any congenital intracardiac shunting, obstructive pulmonary diseases and systemic diseases associated with right ventricular pressure overload or pulmonary hyperperfusion, the case was tentatively diagnosed as primary pulmonary hypertension. The dog was treated with furosemide, aspirin and oxygen supplementation. This case report described a rare case of primary pulmonary hypertension in a Maltese dog.

중성화된 1년령 말티즈 개(2.4kg)가 간헐적인 기침, 호흡곤란, 운동 불내성을 주요 증상으로 내원하였다. 신체검사 시 제 2음 모순 분열, 확장기 역류성 잡음이 관찰되었으며, 심장초음파에서 주폐동맥의 확장, 심실 중격 비대를 동반한 우심실 편심성 비대, 심각한 삼첨판 역류증과 폐동맥 역류증(5.4m/sec, 3.4m/sec)이 관찰되었다. 이러한 진단 검사 결과를 바탕으로, 본 증례를 선천성 심장 내 단락, 폐쇄성 폐질환, 그리고 우심계의 압력 과부하 또는 폐혈관계과관류와 관련된 전신질환과 감별하여 원발성 폐동맥 고혈압증으로 잠정진단 하였다. 환자는 furosemide와 aspirin을 투여하여, 산소요법을 실시하였다. 본 증례는 드물게 발생하는 개의 원발성 폐동맥 고혈압이다.
