QUANTIFICATION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS USING CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING COMPARED WITH ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN DOMESTIC CATS

The hypotheses were that cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) would accurately determine LV mass in domestic cats and would do so more accurately than echocardiography (ECHO). ECHO was performed on seven sedated cats. LV mass was calculated using the truncated ellipse formula from a right paras...
