Abstract
Genetic manipulation conducted for many years has resulted in breeding turkeys with very intensive growth rate and high percentage of muscle tissue. These features promote dysfunctions in the cardiovascular system. The aim of this article was to present current data on the etiology of cardiovascular system diseases in turkeys. In this paper the most recent data on dilated cardiomyopathy (round heart disease), spontaneous aortic rupture and perirenal hemorrhage syndrome are described.
