| 中文描述 | 一群五到六月齡的乳牛突然猝死或形成心衰竭的病症.一些心導管的案例證實肺高血壓和右心衰竭.在壞死時有心衰竭的症狀以及微觀下有肺動脈炎和小到中大小的氣管動脈週邊硬化.這症候群相似高山症,但小牛已經沒提升高度並且組織學損傷和那些患高山症的不同(肺動脈中層肥大).導致這症候群的原因未知,也沒有治療方法. |
| 英文描述 | A group of 5-6 month-old dairy calves developed sudden death or signs of heart failure. Cardiac catheterization of some cases confirmed pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure. At necropsy there were signs of heart failure and microscopically there were pulmonary arteritis and periarterial sclerosis of small to medium-sized bronchial arteries. This syndrome resembles high-mountain disease, but the calves had not been at elevated altitudes and the histologic lesions differed from those seen in high mountain disease (medial hypertropy of the pulmonary arteries). The cause of this syndrome is not known, nor is there a treatment. |
