BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) in cats is challenging. Point-of-care (POC) thoracic ultrasound and NT-proBNP testing are emerging tools that may aid in diagnosis.
HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of POC lung ultrasound (LUS), focused cardiac ultrasound (FCU), and NT-proBNP in predicting a final diagnosis of CHF.
ANIMALS: Fifty-one cats in respiratory distress.
METHODS: Blood NT-proBNP, LUS, and FCU evaluating left atrial (LA) size and presence of pericardial effusion (PCEFF) were performed in all cats. Lung ultrasound findings including pleural effusion (PLEFF), number of B-lines, and sub-pleural abnormalities were noted. Medical records were evaluated for final diagnosis.
RESULTS: Thirty-three of 51 (65%) cats were diagnosed with CHF. Lung ultrasound and blood NT-proBNP were significant predictors of CHF in a multivariate model. The LUS criterion that maximized accuracy for CHF diagnosis was presence of >1 site strongly positive for B-lines (>3 B-lines per site), resulting in sensitivity of 78.8%, specificity of 83.3%, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.833. Subjective LA enlargement was 97.0% sensitive and 100% specific for CHF (AUC 0.985). Presence of PCEFF also was 100% specific, but only 60.6% sensitive, for CHF (AUC 0.803). A positive blood NT-proBNP test was 93.9% sensitive and 72.2% specific for the diagnosis of CHF (AUC 0.831).
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Point-of-care diagnostic techniques of LUS, FCU, and NT-proBNP are useful to diagnose CHF in cats with respiratory distress.
