N‐terminal brain natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponin‐I, and point‐of‐care ultrasound in dogs with cardiac and noncardiac causes of nonhemorrhagic ascites

Abstract Background Nonhemorrhagic ascites (NHA) can be caused by cardiac diseases (cNHA) and noncardiac diseases (ncNHA). N‐terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP), cardiac troponin‐I (cTnI), and point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) may differentiate between cNHA and ncNHA. Hypothesis/Objectives...
