Key result
Round heart disease in turkeys was associated with a reduced left ventricular subendocardial/subepicardial blood flow ratio (0.89 vs 1.19, P<0.05) and left ventricular dysfunction.

Should not inform clinical practice; leaves open relevance of perfusion mismatch to other cardiomyopathy models.
Observational (n=51)
Absolute Event Rate: 0.89% vs 1.19%
p-value: p=<0.05
EINZIG et al. (1980) conducted an observational in Round heart disease (congestive cardiomyopathy) (n=51). Round heart disease vs. Healthy control turkeys was evaluated on Left ventricular subendocardial/subepicardial blood flow ratio (p=<0.05). Round heart disease in turkeys was associated with a reduced left ventricular subendocardial/subepicardial blood flow ratio (0.89 vs 1.19, P<0.05) and left ventricular dysfunction.
