The study was conducted with an objective torule out the dogs presented with a complaint of clinical signs suggestive of cardiac disease. A total of 14 animals were chosenfor theassessment of serum NT-pro BNP level. The animals were grouped into to group 1 with Holterelectrocardiographic arrhythmias and group 2 without Holterelectrocardiographic arrhythmias. Group 1 showed significant increase in the NT-pro BNP levels in contrast to the control and group 2 animals. NT-pro BNP estimation in screening of dogs suspected for cardiac sickness was found to be reliable step when done concurrently withother diagnostic tests.
