Key result
Echocardiographic measurements of ventricular wall thickness in cats differed by less than 15% from postmortem and cineangiographic measurements, with an average deviation of -0.01 +/- 0.26 mm.

Confirms echocardiographic validity for feline ventricular measurements; leaves open extension to clinical disease states.
Observational (n=33)
This study establishes normal echocardiographic reference values for domestic cats and validates them against cineangiographic and postmortem measurements.
Pipers et al. (1979) conducted an observational in Normal healthy cats (n=33). Echocardiography vs. Postmortem and cineangiographic measurements was evaluated on Echocardiographic reference values and deviation from postmortem measurements. Echocardiographic measurements of ventricular wall thickness in cats differed by less than 15% from postmortem and cineangiographic measurements, with an average deviation of -0.01 +/- 0.26 mm.
