In vitro allergy tests compared to intradermal testing in horses with recurrent airway obstruction [PDF]
Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) is a common condition in stabled horses characterised by small airway inflammation, airway neutrophilia and obstruction following exposure of susceptible horses to mouldy hay and straw and is thus regarded as a ...

Replication and fine‐mapping of a QTL for recurrent airway obstruction in European Warmblood horses [PDF]
Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), or 'heaves', is a common performance-limiting allergic respiratory disease of mature horses. It is related to sensitization and exposure to mouldy hay and has a familial basis with a complex mode of inheritance.

Effects of xylazine on airway function in ponies with recurrent airway obstruction
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1992SUMMARY The effect of iv administration of the α2-adrenoceptor agonist xylazine hydrochloride (0.5 mg/kg of body weight) was examined in ponies with recurrent obstructive pulmonary disease, commonly called heaves. Six ponies with the disease (principals) were studied during clinical remission and during an acute attack of airway obstruction ...

In vitro responses of distal airways in horses with recurrent airway obstruction
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1991Summary Distal airway segments (id, 3 to 4 mm; length, 5 mm) from 2 groups of horses were isolated and suspended in tissue baths filled with Krebs solution, aerated with 5% CO2 in oxygen and maintained at 37 C. Responses to exogenous acetylcholine, isoproterenol, or electrical field stimulation were compared.

Effects of furosemide on ponies with recurrent airway obstruction
Pulmonary Pharmacology, 1991The effect of aerosol and intravenous administrations of furosemide was examined in ponies with recurrent obstructive pulmonary disease, commonly called 'heaves'. This recurrent airway disease bears many similarities to human asthma. Six ponies with the disease (principal animals) were studied during clinical remission and during an acute attack of ...

Recurrent airway obstruction—heaves
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2003Heaves, or recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), is a chronic respiratory disease featuring lower airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus accumulation. Inhaled organic dusts and T helper 2 type immunologic reactions are involved in the complex pathophysiology of RAO. Clinical signs vary and alternate with remission periods.
