Hi!
I don’t use breed
Hi!
I don’t use breed specific references. Since the main concern is DMVD, I focus on the end-diastolic diameter (Cornell-Index = LVd (cm)/(BW^0.294) which should be <1,7. For LA/AO I look at the 4-chamber view and sax views (LA/AO < 1.6).
I think this is the most practical way to go 🙂

Thanks Peter. And do you
Thanks Peter. And do you always check breed specific or weight specific values with other dogs or just if you are concerned it is abnormal?
In all small breed dogs I
In all small breed dogs I just use the Cornell-Formula. In specific large breed dogs I use breed specific values where available (e.g. I Wolf, Dobermann, Saluki, etc), particularly for breeding exams. In the clinical patient, I try to solve the puzzle of subjective impression, Cornell-Index and – in large breed dogs – breed specific values)
