ABSTRACT We described the use of IV nitroglycerin as adjunctive therapy in three canine patients with left congestive heart failure secondary to degenerative mitral valve disease. All three dogs were admitted for signs of respiratory distress and all were determined to be in left congestive heart failure by history, exam findings, thoracic radiographs, and echocardiography. In addition to standard therapy for left congestive heart failure, IV nitroglycerin was administered as a constant rate infusion at a dose of 1–6 mcg/kg/min. No adverse events attributable to the drug were noted. This is the first reported use of IV nitroglycerin in clinical veterinary patients. Further studies are warranted to investigate the safety, efficacy, and optimal dosing of IV nitroglycerin infusions in dogs with left congestive heart failure.

Oxygen Carrying Capacity

Bleeding associated with uterine leiomyoma is a common complication for many women. Sustained bleeding reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin. However, a hemoglobin value below 2.0 g/dL due to bleeding is not common. Such a low level compensatively increases sympathetic tone and can lead to stress-induced cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. We report a case of severe anemia (1.4 g/dL of hemoglobin) with acute heart failure due to myoma-related bleeding.
