ABSTRACT
Aissi A., Ovine
cardiac compartments measured by ultrasonography and calipers, Onl J Vet Res., 29
(1): 10-13, 2025. Author describes
reference ultrasonography (US) structure of 27 normal sheep hearts at
slaughter. US was viewed through water at 25oC by sectorial
transducer at 2 cm sent from right ventricle (RV) to determine thickness and
space between left, right and intraventricular
ventricle walls (LV). Results were then compared with actual biometrical
measurements by calipers. LV wall measured 20.69 ±2.628 by US and 19.2 ±
1.563mm by caliper, RV 8.10 ±2.138 and 7.6±1.957mm and LV, 18.93 ± 1.984 and
17.981±1.786mm, respectively. Findings suggest LV was measured ~7%, RV ~6%
and LV ~5% thicker by US compared with calipers.
Keys words: Reference, ovine, cardiac, ultrasonograph,
