The purpose of this study was to assess a change in different blood parameters before and after a 160 km endurance race and to evaluate differences in cardiac biomarkers between horses that completed the race and horses that did not. The study population consisted of 52 healthy endurance horses. Horses participating in the study were assigned to three groups: horses that successfully completed the race ("finishers"), horses that failed to qualify at the veterinary check for primarily metabolic reasons ("metabolic") and horses that failed to qualify at the veterinary check for primarily gait related reasons ("gait related"). The latter two groups were combined to form a final group of "non-finishers" that were excluded for either "gait related" or "metabolic" disorders. Venous blood samples were taken before and after the endurance race. Serum and EDTA-plasma were analyzed for cardiac troponin I (cTNI), heart fatty acid binding protein (HFABP), alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (α-HBDH), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). Lactate dehydrogenase (P = .001), SDMA (P= .001) and ADMA (P= .002) increased significantly after the endurance race in the finisher group. A significant increase in cTNI and α-HBDH concentration after the endurance race compared to the values before the endurance race was detected in the finisher (P= .001, P= .001) and gait related group (P= .002, P= .007). The longer the distance completed, the more these five blood parameters increased. No differences between the groups could be found and none of the measured blood parameters showed significant differences among groups before or after racing.
