Pulmonary hypertension and NT-proBNP dynamics during the course of adulticide treatment in dogs naturally infected by Dirofilaria immitis

Abstract Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a frequent complication in dogs with heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis. Although echocardiography remains the main diagnostic tool, its operator- and preload-dependence may limit accuracy. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-...
