Table 2.
Body mass, heart mass, left ventricular mass, and left ventricular mass of sheep and goats
| Sheep (n = 4) | Goat (n = 4) | t-Test | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body mass, kg | 48 (±13) | 28 (±6) | t6 = 2.9, P = 0.03 |
| Heart mass, g | 139 ± 53 | 69 ± 7 | t6 = 2.6, P = 0.04 |
| Left ventricular mass,* g | 90 ± 30 | 46 ± 4 | t6 = 2.9, P = 0.03 |
| Body mass-specific left ventricular mass,* g/kg | 1.8 ± 0.2 | 1.7 ± 0.2 | t6 = 0.93, P = 0.39 |
Body mass values are means (±SD). Heart and left ventricular mass values are means ± 95% CI.
Left ventricle defined as free wall plus septum.
