Morphometric description of canine and human heart anatomy: proximities and distances

Abstract

Article developed as a result of research Project of Studies in Cardiology at the University Center Montes Belos - UniMB, Veterinary Medicine course - Comparative Study of the Cardiological Profile between Dogs and Men: parameters of the main cardiopathies and anatomical similarities. The specific objective of this analysis is to reassess the proximities between the classes’ hominidae and canidae regarding the anatomical aspect of the heart. The proximities, similarities and distances, differences between the cardiac morphometric of the dog and the human. The theoretical referencing was based on an argumentative basis by Ghoshal (1986), Carvalho et al. (2002) and Queiroz et al. (2018) for argumentative support in cardiac and human cardiac morphometric discussion, Cunningham (2011) for cardiac physiology and other authors with equal importance for the support of the argumentative archetype of this work.
