Left ventricular M‐mode prediction intervals in 7651 dogs: Population‐wide and selected breed‐specific values
Abstract Background Echocardiography is a common method to measure heart size in dogs. The heart dimensions are influenced by body weight (BW) and potentially by breed. Objectives To establish BW‐dependent prediction intervals (PIs) of the left ventricular (LV) linear dimensions in a population of d...
