VHS to evaluate the normal size of heart.ECG to detect the normal heart function. M-mode, two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography were performed on 42clinically healthy dogs including [20 German shepherd, 12 Golden Retriever and 10 Rott-weiler]. Echocardiographic measurements as, left ventricle internal diameter (LVD), as well as left atrial internal diameter (LAD) and aortic diameter (AOD) in early diastole, LAD: AOD ratio was calculated. Fraction shortening (FS) percentage and ejection fraction (EF) percentage, as well as, Mean range and standard deviation of measurements were calculated for the three dog breeds UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
