Plain-English summary
This research discusses the challenges in diagnosing and predicting outcomes for horses with minor heart issues. It highlights the need for more information about how heart diseases develop over time in horses. To gather this important data, long-term studies will be necessary, and it will take teamwork between specialized veterinary clinics and general veterinarians. The paper suggests that without this collaboration and data collection, progress in understanding these conditions will be limited.
Abstract
This paper outlines the major problems in evaluating and assessing prognosis in horses with minor cardiac abnormalities. It emphasises that progress will only be made if adequate data on the "natural history" of equine cardiac disease can be collected. This will necessitate a long-term study of suitable cases and will require the collaboration of specialist institutions and general practitioners if it is to be successful.
