Topic > Capture myopathy: captive animal syndrome

Introduction Capture myopathy? Not very often is a diagnosis defined this way, especially in the field of human medicine, especially in the field of cardiology where the term myopathy is revered as cardiomyopathy. Myopathy is a disease that affects muscles and causes weakness due to dysfunction of muscle fibers (1); Cardiomyopathy is the same condition but mainly affects the heart. Capture Myopathy is relevant to many animals, particularly mammals, and provides a definitive correlation to humans and their potential medical prognosis of Cardiomyopathy. Capture myopathy is a syndrome that occurs in captive animals and causes rapid death due to excessive adrenaline in the bloodstream. (3) Capture Myopathy is often referred to as white muscle disease, when muscle is used it causes a change in metabolism from using oxygen to using energy stored within the muscle. The change allows lactic acid to build up and make its way into the bloodstream where it changes the body's homeostasis: body pH and cardiac output. Essentially, if the heart inefficiently pumps the correct oxygen to the muscle, the muscle will begin to deteriorate and eventually lead to damage to the kidneys and effector organs. (2) Animal Capture Myopathy is very easily identifiable with human Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, and therefore this article will aim to trace how animals are very easily identifiable with humans even through the cardiovascular system based on normal physiology and stress. (What should I talk about?) Physiology of Capture Myopathy Stress Induced Capture Myopathy What stress can mean to a doctor and his patient can be very different from what stress can mean to a veterinarian and an animal. But with love...... middle of paper......r inside. Physiological indicators are recognized mainly through “sight, hearing, smell and even skin pressure”, where they are mainly found in the hypothalamus, a key factor for the animal's homeostasis. (3) When a receptor is activated and the stimulus is carried to the hypothalamus and then transmitted to the “limbic system and neocortical areas… the impulses stimulate the neuroendocrine and autonomic nervous systems,” which can cause a variety of problems if care and attention is not paid. if the stress signal is prolonged. (3)Prolonged stress or distress can be an obstacle to the animal's homeostasis and cause responses in the body that cause the animal to overload its physiological systems. Animals that endure this prolonged stress are placed in an unavoidable environment or circumstance in which the animal is or feels trapped or captured.
