Implication

Transthoracic echocardiography feasibly establishes pulmonary venous flow baselines in conscious dogs; leaves open validation in clinical veterinary populations.

Population

25 healthy mongrel dogs (5 for anatomic validation, 20 for velocity characterization), mean weight 8.0-9.3 kg, conscious without sedation for velocity recordings.

Intervention

Transthoracic two-dimensional and pulsed Doppler echocardiography

Outcome

Echocardiographic imaging planes and velocity pattern of pulmonary venous flowsurrogate

Transthoracic echocardiography is a feasible method for observing and characterizing pulmonary venous flow in conscious dogs, establishing normal baseline parameters for future veterinary clinical use.

Limitations

Wall motion artifacts may interfere with obtaining atrial reversed flow velocity
Sweep speed setting may have prevented observation of biphasic S wave
Age might be an important factor not fully explored
