Dilative cardiomyopathy leading to congestive heart failure in a male squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus)

Dilative cardiomyopathy leading to congestive heart failure in a male squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) JOURNAL OF MEDICAL PRIMATOLOGY Tolwani, R. J., Waggie, K. S., GREEN, S. L., Tolwani, A. J., Lyons, D. M., Schatzberg, A. F. 2000; 29 (1): 42-45Abstract
A 17-year-old, 1-kg, colony-housed, male squirrel monkey (Samiri sciureus) developed clinical signs of congestive heart failure. The monkey presented with lethargy, increased heart and respiratory rates, and mild abdominal distention. The clinical history, laboratory analysis, and radiographic findings were consistent with heart failure due to dilative cardiomyopathy. Gross and microscopic examination of the heart confirmed a dilative cardiomyopathy. This is the first report describing congestive heart failure caused by dilative cardiomyopathy in a squirrel monkey. Spontaneous dilative cardiomyopathy may be infrequently observed in the squirrel monkeys because they are not routinely housed in the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ environment during their advancing years.
