ABSTRACT

Echocardiographic Reference Values for Parameters Related to Body Size in the Dog All parameters of chamber size and wall thicknesses are dependent upon the animal’s weight. Using the following tables look up weight along the left hand column; follow the row along to the right to see the range of normal size or thickness for that weight. Parameters are listed across the top. These represent 95% confidence intervals; realize that 5% of individuals will fall outside of these reference ranges.
