Description

Data to case-series on chronic idiopathic myopathy in Icelandic horses. The data includes horses with changes in their muscles (12) and some without (5). The data is mainly descriptive due to the nature of it. Also includes data on CK and AST measures. The conclusion in the abstract state: This case series suggests the presence of a novel myopathy in Icelandic horses. In horses of this breed, exhibiting decreased performance, multi‐limb lameness and/or increased serum CK activity at rest or post‐exercise, an underlying myopathy should be considered. Some words are in Danish in the dataset, but most in English.
