Dietary factors may be capable of modulating agents that cause heart disease, slowing its progression, reducing the amount of drugs for treatment and improving quality of life. The use of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, arginine, coenzyme Q10, L-carnitine, taurine and vitamin B has been widely studied in the prevention and treatment of many types of heart diseases in small animals. Thus, this review will address options for dietary supplements highlighting for the veterinarians the importance of nutritional therapy for animals with heart disease.

Early diagnosis is very important in all cases. Nowadays, the most used tests in the country are serological techniques of Indirect Immunoflorescence Reaction (IIR) and Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA). The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique brings a new perspective to VL diagnosis, presenting greater specificity and sensitivity. The veterinarian must know all diagnosis methods, their limitations and indications to correctly apply them in the clinical routine.
