Implication

Establishes equine echocardiographic reference values; leaves open clinical validation and outcome correlation in diseased animals.

Structured PICO

Population

41 clinically normal small ponies, large ponies and horses

Intervention

Echocardiographic examinations (2-D guided M-mode)

Outcome

Echocardiographic dimensions (interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular internal dimension and left ventricular wall in systole and diastole, and aortic diameter in diastole)surrogate

Provides normal reference values for echocardiographic dimensions in ponies and horses, noting a lack of linear correlation with bodyweight within specific size groups.
