Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Body weight, heart rate, and 19 M-mode echocardiographic variables were measured in 41 nonanesthetized healthy cats. Estimated limits were determined for the echocardiographic variables, and each variable was then correlated to body weight, heart rate, and the 18 other variables. A significant (P less than 0.05) positive correlation to body weight was found with aortic diameter, left atrial dimension, septal and left ventricular systolic and left ventricular diastolic wall thicknesses, and left and right ventricular diastolic and right ventricular systolic internal dimensions. Significant inverse correlation (P less than 0.05) to heart rate was found with body weight, left ventricular systolic and diastolic and right ventricular systolic internal dimensions, left atrial dimension, left atrial dimension to aortic ratio, mitral valve E point to ventricular septal separation, and left ventricular ejection time. Left ventricular shortening fraction in the short axis and velocity of circumferential fiber shortening were significantly correlated (P less than 0.05) to heart rate. Significant correlation (P less than 0.05) was also found between many echocardiographic variables. |
