Overview The equine heart is a hollow organ com- prised of two chambers—one with two atria and the other with two ventricles—that function in concert to receive deoxygenated blood from veins into the right side and sub- sequently propel oxygenated blood through the body via arteries from the left side. Cardiac disease is considered the third- most-common cause of “poor performance” in athletic horses (after musculoskeletal disease and respiratory disorders); how- ever, cardiac abnormalities are rare. Horses with cardiac dysfunction
