Heavily chromium-polluted areas, where people are prohibited from entering, are paradises for stray dogs. In this study, stray dogs were used to study the effects of chromium exposure on the heart of dogs in severely Cr(VI)-contaminated rural areas of China. The dogs were given water (control), low dose (L, 0.92 mg/kg), medium dose (M, 1.15 mg/kg), and high dose (H, 1.38 mg/kg) of Cr(VI). The changes of electrocardiogram (ECG), myocardial enzyme parameters, inflammatory factors, oxidative kinase, and ATPase were measured to determine the toxicity of chromium on the heart of dogs. Results showed that the ST segment of ECG increased significantly, and the amplitude of T wave increased in the experimental group. The myocardial enzyme (CK-MB, AST, CK, and LDH) content in groups M and H increased significantly over time. The values of CAT, T-SOD, IL-10, and ATPase (K⁺-Na⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-ATPase) decreased with the increase of Cr(VI) dose, and the content of MDA, IL-1β, IL-8, and TNF-α increased with the increase of Cr(VI) dose. Our study suggested that the heart of Chinese rural dog was damaged by Cr(VI), and Cr(VI) could cause oxidative damage and alteration of ATPase content in dogs.
