Summary
Although equine pericarditis is relatively uncommon, most
equine veterinarians are likely to encounter it during their
career. Muffled heart sounds and/or friction rubs, tachycardia
and jugular distention are the classic clues indicating that
pericardial disease is present. However, fever, mild abdominal
pain, ventral oedema, weight loss and/or lethargy may be the
only clinical signs in horses with pericarditis.
