TABLE 3.
Specific echocardiographic measures of pulmonary hypertension, ductal diameter, and left atrial size in dogs and cats
Echocardiographic findings | |
---|---|
Variable | Result |
MDD type II | 5.30 mm (±2.45) |
MDD type III | 6.85 mm [4.90‐8.87] |
MDD overall | 6.14 mm (±2.78) |
TR maximal velocity | 5.14 m/s (±0.72) |
PR maximal velocity | 3.90 m/s (±0.59) |
LA : Ao | 1.28 (±0.26) |
Note: Normally distributed data are presented as mean (±SD) and nonnormally distributed data are reported as median [range].
Abbreviations: LA : Ao, left atrial to aortic ratio; MDD, minimal ductal diameter; PR, pulmonic regurgitation; TR, tricuspid regurgitation..
