Fisher Centre for the Study and Conservation of Apes, Lincoln Park Zoo: \u003cbr/\u003e\"Here at Lincoln Park Zoo we collect a lot of behavioural data. All of the apes are watched virtually every day and have been for the past seven years, so we have reams and reams of behavioural data. We know how they act with each other. We know about their activity levels, how much of the exhibit they're using, so it's a really unique opportunity to match what they know about their behaviour with what's going on inside them.\"\u003cbr/\u003e22. Mid shot of chimpanzee.\u003cbr/\u003e23. Mid shot of two chimps.\u003cbr/\u003ePrimates in a U.S. zoo are being fitted with heart monitors and trained to allow themselves to be scanned without sedation in a bid to track heart disease.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's part of a project aimed at stamping out the illness, which is the number one killer of great apes in captivity.\u003cbr/\u003eMore than one third of deaths in adult captive apes are caused by complications of heart disease - and vets don't know why. \u003cbr/\u003eThat's why researchers at Lincoln Park Zoo in Illinois are running a new project focussing on primate heart disease.\u003cbr/\u003eDr. Kathryn Gamble is Director of Veterinary Medicine at the zoo. She says that heart disease has been going undetected in apes, despite them eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of exercise and undergoing regular tests. \u003cbr/\u003eGamble saw this firsthand with a female chimp that died in her care a few years ago. \u003cbr/\u003eShe says: \"Her heart looked fine on ultrasound. And unfortunately during the recovery from the anaesthesia she died. When we did the analysis or the evaluation of her body - it's called a post-mortem - she had some really serious heart disease that had been invisible, completely invisible on the ultrasound. And that started us thinking, 'Why could that be? And what happened?' The scarring on her heart muscle was very pronounced. When I looked at it the conclusion was that the electrical activity that allows our heart to beat and get the blood to move around the body had basically been bouncing around. It was hitting scar tissue and moving in an uncontrolled fashion. And that's what caused her to die. Because we couldn't see that using ultrasound, I wanted to find another technique that would allow us to measure what was going on.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAs a result, the team came up with new technology to try to tackle the problem - heart monitors.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This is the Medtronic implantable EKG device,\" explains Gamble.\u003cbr/\u003e\"You can see compared to my thumb that it's a fairly small device. We estimate it's basically the size of a standard jump drive. And this is what's slid into a sterilely made incision into the animal's skin and slipped under the fat or muscle pad just right over the ribcage.\"\u003cbr/\u003eEight chimps at the zoo have had a monitor implanted. Three of the chimps so far have been trained to present their chests to a scanner so that data can be downloaded. \u003cbr/\u003eOther chimps, such as this male named Optimus Prime, are still learning the ropes. \u003cbr/\u003eMore than 30% of deaths in adult zoo chimpanzees are caused by heart disease, or complications derived from it. Gamble says it's unclear how many of those are from heart rhythm problems, but that seems to be the predominant condition, rather than clogged arteries, which is more common in humans.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's also unknown whether cardiac problems are more common in captive apes than in wild animals. The problem could be linked to diet or physical activity or stress. \u003cbr/\u003eThat's where Gamble's research comes in.\u003cbr/\u003eData from the implanted devices is uploaded every 10 to 14 days from the chimps who've learned to help out. \u003cbr/\u003eThis data taken from a female chimp called Vicky is showing that there is a problem with the rhythm of her heart. \u003cbr/\u003eGamble says: \"Now in humans we know that things like high blood pressure, diet, exercise or lack thereof, all those things are really important parts of what's going on in heart health. So we have to assume because great apes are so similar to us that we need to look at all those as very important problems that maybe even though we really focus on good healthy diet, maybe there's some diet things that we don't understand about our closest relatives and that they need different things. Maybe there's a vitamin or a mineral that might be better.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe zoo also collects information about ape behaviour and activity levels, so the heart monitor data and the behavioural data can be analysed together.\u003cbr/\u003eSteve Ross is Assistant Director at the Lester E. Fisher Centre for the Study and Conservation of Apes at the zoo. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says: \"All of the apes are watched virtually every day and have been for the past seven years, so we have reams and reams of behavioural data. We know how they act with each other. We know about their activity levels, how much of the exhibit they're using, so it's a really unique opportunity to match what they know about their behaviour with what's going on inside them.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIt's hoped the research will one day lead to new recommendations for zoos on diet and physical activity to help prevent unnecessary deaths in these animals.
