SUMMARY:

This study aimed to define an electrocardiographic and tomographic pulmonary and cardiac standard for free-living healthy caracaras (Caracara plancus). For this, 10 adult caracaras, from the Center for Screening and Rehabilitation of Wild Animals of Pernambuco (CETRAS - PE) were used. These animals underwent computed tomography of the thoracic region and electrocardiogram. Thus, in the cardiac tomographic analysis, absolute measurements of the thoracic region and cardiac silhouette were obtained. Radiodensity measurements of the lungs were obtained using two different techniques. First, the selection of regions of interest in the lung parenchyma was used at the level of the syrinx (-679.25 ± 41.68 HU), at the level of the pulmonary trunk (-685.30 ± 27.34 HU) and at the level of the liver. (-656.65 ± 26.00 HU). Subsequently, the radiodensity was measured using the Histogram technique (-683.73 ± 18.1 HU), with no statistical difference when compared with the radiodensity obtained using the ROI technique. Lung volume was measured, obtaining mean values of 24.12 ± 4.42 cm³. In addition, all animals showed similar morphologies in the electrocardiographic events, and the DII lead showed a positive P wave, subsequently a QRS complex of rS conformation, it did not show a Q wave in this lead, and the T wave presented as positive. This study allowed the determination of electrocardiographic values and measurements for the evaluation of cardiac silhouette and lung parenchyma in tomographic examination of free-living and healthy caracaras. Therefore, these data can be adopted as reference values for the species, favoring the early diagnosis of heart disease and other lung diseases.
