Table 3. Coefficient of repeatability (CoR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of echocardiographic measurements performed in 20 adult goats on two consecutive days; mean difference between the two consecutive echocardiographic examinations with standard deviation (SD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), and result of one sample Student’s t-test are also presented (α = 0.05).
