Abstract:BackgroundReference intervals for simple body weight‐independent measurements of right heart size and function are limited.ObjectivesGenerate reference intervals for measurements of right heart size indexed to the long‐axis aortic valve diameter (AoD) or corresponding left heart structure (right heart ratios) and describe the reproducibility of these indices.AnimalsNinety healthy adult dogs of variable body weight.MethodsProspective study. All dogs underwent an echocardiogram performed by the same operator. Nu… Show more
