Keywords:

Abstract
In this study, the clinical records of canine patients seen at the Pet`a Vet veterinary clinic in Guatemala between 2018 and 2020 were analyzed with the aim of investigating heart disease in dogs in the region. From a total of 1215 records reviewed, 825 cases of heart disease were identified, with chronic mitral valve disease being the most frequent. A higher incidence was observed in males and in Schnauzer breed dogs. In addition, the majority of diagnosed patients were found to be 9 years of age or older. These results provide valuable information on the epidemiology of canine heart disease in Guatemala, which may be useful to improve its diagnosis and clinical management.
