The team started doing procedures outside because the silverbacks are
heavy and the chimps are far from the clinic. Here, they check out an
ultrasound on the gorilla Akiba.

A Doctor With Heart page 16

these two events, Kutinsky began look-
ing for any information she could find
on cardiac disease in great apes and
was concerned there was almost no
data available.
She located an article on five gorillas
and began a friendship with Dr. Hayley
Murphy, the article's author.
"We decided if all of these echoes
were being done, the data should be
organized," Kutinsky says.
She and Murphy, who is the head vet
at Zoo Atlanta and the director of the
GAHP, co-founded the Gorilla Cardiac
Database, which will catalogue the
results of great ape echocardiograms.
Dr. Marietta Dindo of Zoo Atlanta is
the project and database manager,
which includes data from gorillas and
chimps. Orangutans will be next.
"We've been able to accumulate a
large amount of data and have been
able to come up with what we believe
are normal heart measurements in
order to better define the readings we
get:' Kutinsky says.
The database has allowed affected
animals to be studied closely and be
treated by using extrapolated human
data. "We're treating gorillas with
human medications and have gotten
positive results. The apes' health is
improving:' she says.

Traveling The Globe
Kutinsky has gone to many places in
the U.S. gathering ape heart data, and
the database now has records from
zoos in Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus,
Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. She's
consulted on data from such loca-
tions as Mexico, Spain, Canada, South
America and Greece.
"I haven't been to all those places:'
she said, "but now with modern tech-
nology, zoos can send images online,
so I've done tele-consulting in many
cases"
Kutinsky recently went to Africa.
"We were invited by a sanctuary in
Cameroon, and spent the last week of
February and the first two weeks of
March evaluating their complement of
15 gorillas and 32 chimps"
She joked that she did make a friend
of one of the gorillas. "I named him
Benito. Every time I came to the enclo-
sure, he would follow me back and
forth. He really fancied me ... I called
him my 'boyfriend'!"
Kutinsky will be meeting in May
with the GAHP staff to write up their
results from the Africa trip, and then
plans to do more "monkey business" in
Ohio in June.
"I'm lucky:' Kutinsky said proudly.
"Every day I can help someone is a
good day"
