Plain-English summary
A 16-hour-old foal was brought in because it was urinating blood (hematuria). During the examination, the veterinarian found a heart murmur and a noticeable vibration in the chest, which led to further tests. These tests revealed that the foal had a serious heart defect present from birth. Unfortunately, the foal did not survive, and the heart condition was confirmed after it passed away.
