Sammanfattning

Sleeping and resting respiratory rates (SRR and RRR, respectively) are commonly used to monitor dogs and cats with left-sided cardiac disease and to identify animals with left-sided congestive heart failure (L-CHF). Dogs and cats with subclinical heart disease have SRRmean, values = 25 breaths/min and one dog only was breaths/min. Canine SRRmean was unrelated to pulmonary hypertension or diuretic dose. Median feline SRRmean was 20 breaths/min (13-31 breaths/min); four cats were >= 25 breaths/min and only one cat was >= 30 breaths/min. Feline SRRmean was unrelated to diuretic dose. SRR remained stable during collection in both species with little day-to-day variability. The median canine RRRmean was 24 breaths/min (12-44 breaths/min), 17 were >= 25 breaths/min, seven were >= 30 breaths/min, two were >40 breaths/min. Median feline RRRmean was 24 breaths/min (15-45 breaths/min); five cats had RRRmean 25 breaths/min; one had >= 30 breaths/min, and two had >= 40 breaths/min.These data suggest that most dogs and cats with CHF that is medically well-controlled and stable have SRRmean and RRRmean
