As all data were not normally distributed, they were presented as median values. In bold values with statistical differences. Bpm: beats per minute; CINF: critically ill newborn foals; CO: cardiac output; EDV: left ventricular end‐diastolic volume; EF: ejection fraction; ESV: left ventricular end‐systolic volume; FS: fractional shortening; HR: heart rate; IVSd: interventricular septum thickness at end‐diastole; IVSs: interventricular septum thickness at end‐systole; LVIDd: left ventricular internal dimension at end‐diastole; LVIDs: left ventricular internal dimension at end‐systole; LVPWd: left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end‐diastole; LVPWs: left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end‐systole; SV: stroke volume.
