Key result
The dog ventricular wall consists of epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium, with Purkinje fibers restricted to the endocardium and intercalated discs showing positive E-cadherin expression.
Why the study?
To investigate the light microscopic structure of the canine ventricular wall along with the fine structure of cardiomyocytes and interstitial telocytes.
Population
Tissue samples from the ventricles of 15 adult domestic dogs
Design
Histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural animal study

Salem et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=15). Histological and ultrastructural analysis was evaluated on Histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural characteristics of the ventricular wall. The dog ventricular wall consists of epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium, with Purkinje fibers restricted to the endocardium and intercalated discs showing positive E-cadherin expression.
