title: [Heart diseases in foals. A literature review exemplified by 2 case reports].
abstract: A review of the congenital and acquired heart diseases of foals is given on the basis of two patients. A 3-month-old foal with a history of collapse after exercise had a systolic murmur on all heart valves on both sides. Necropsy revealed endocarditis ulcerosa of the left atrioventricular valves. A 6-week-old foal with systolic murmur on the left atrioventricular valves and on the aorta showed, on ultrasonography, signs of endocarditis of the atrioventricular valves. This foal recovered after a long course of antibiotics.
