  • Title: Myocardial necrosis secondary to neural lesions in domestic animals.
    Author: King JM, Roth L, Haschek WM.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1982 Jan 15; 180(2):144-8. PubMed ID: 7061311.
    Abstract:
    Focal myocardial necrosis secondary to neural lesions was diagnosed in 2 dogs and 1 horse. In each case, the neural lesions were traumatic in origin. Spinal cord injury was evident in 1 dog; brain damage was evident in the other dog and presumably in the horse. Retrospective analysis of necropsy material showed that many species were affected, without apparent age or sex predisposition. Central nervous system injury resulting from trauma, infection or space-occupying lesions was associated with acute myocardial necrosis in all cases. The myocardial necrosis was rarely fatal; however, it did cause cardiac arrhythmias.
