Knowing the prevalence of heart disease and evaluating the associated risk factors in canines is of vital importance to understand these diseases, which may present particularities in different regions. The present study analyzed the echocardiographic performed on 2,517 canines referred to a cardiology reference center “Cardiomedicc” in the city of Quito during the period from 2018 to 2021. Descriptive statistics were used on the data obtained, the chi-square test was applied to verify the association between diseases in relation to sex and age. An α=0.05 value was used as the significance level to confirm or rule out the association between the variables. Of the total animals referred for suspected heart disease, 20.34% did not present any heart abnormalities, while 79.66% were diagnosed with heart disease. Of these, 5.89% had congenital heart disease, and the remaining 90.12% developed acquired heart diseases. Of the congenital heart diseases, aortic stenosis (24.7%), patent ductus arteriosus (18.5%), and pulmonary stenosis (14.5%) were the most prevalent, with German Shepherds, Boxers, and French Bulldogs being the breeds with the highest occurrence. Of the total number of patients with acquired heart disease, 38.7% had mitral valve insufficiency, 30.9% tricuspid valve insufficiency and 23.1% pulmonary arterial hypertension, these being the most prevalent diseases within this group, affecting a greater percentage of small breed dogs such as the French Poodle, Schnauzer, Shih Tzu, and Pekingese. In conclusion, a high prevalence of both congenital and acquired diseases was observed in dogs in the city of Quito, with prevalences similar to those reported in other studies. The distribution was homogeneous between males and females, and the dogs exhibited a wide age range at the time of diagnosis. |

Conocer la prevalencia de las cardiopatías y evaluar los factores de riesgo asociados en los caninos, es de vital importancia para comprender a estas enfermedades, mismas que pueden presentar particularidades en las diferentes regiones. El presente trabajo analizó los estudios ecocardiográficos realizados a 2.517 caninos remitidos a un centro de referencia cardiológico “Cardiomedicc” en la ciudad de Quito en el periodo 2018 a 2021. Se emplearon estadísticas descriptivas sobre los datos obtenidos, se aplicó la prueba de chi cuadrado para verificar la asociación entre las enfermedades con relación al sexo y edad. Se utilizó un valor α=0,05 como nivel de significancia para confirmar o descartar la asociación entre las variables. Del total de animales remitidos por sospecha de enfermedad cardiaca el 20,34% no presentaron anormalidades en el corazón y el 79,66% fueron caninos cardiópatas. De estos, 5,89% presentaron una cardiopatía congénita y el 90,12% restante desarrollaron cardiopatías adquiridas. De las enfermedades cardiacas congénitas la estenosis aórtica (24,7%), conducto arterioso persistente (18,5%) y la estenosis pulmonar (14,5%), fueron las más prevalentes, siendo el Pastor Alemán, Bóxer y Bulldog Francés las razas con mayor presentación. Del total de pacientes con enfermedades cardiacas adquiridas, el 38,7% presentaron insuficiencia valvular mitral, 30,9% insuficiencia valvular tricúspide y el 23,1% hipertensión arterial pulmonar, siendo estas las enfermedades más prevalentes dentro de este grupo, afectando en mayor porcentaje a perros de razas pequeñas como el Poodle, Schnauzer, Shih Tzu y Pequinés. En los dos grupos de enfermedades no se observó diferencias significativas (p>0,05) en cuanto al sexo y la edad al momento de ser diagnosticadas. En conclusión, se determinó una elevada prevalencia de enfermedades congénitas y adquiridas en perros de la ciudad de Quito, obteniendo prevalencias similares a las reportadas en otros estudios, con una distribución homogénea en machos y hembras, y con rango amplio de edad al momento de su diagnóstico.
