Vertebral heart size ranges specific for whippets

To assess the influence of breed, breeding lines, and training on heart size, the vertebral heart size (VHS) was evaluated on left‐to‐right lateral, right‐to‐left lateral, dorsoventral, and ventrodorsal thoracic radiographs from 44 whippets free from cardiac and pulmonary disease. In lateral views,...

Zusammenfassung:	To assess the influence of breed, breeding lines, and training on heart size, the vertebral heart size (VHS) was evaluated on left‐to‐right lateral, right‐to‐left lateral, dorsoventral, and ventrodorsal thoracic radiographs from 44 whippets free from cardiac and pulmonary disease. In lateral views, the VHS was 11.0±0.5 vertebrae (mean±SD) on right‐to‐left lateral and 11.3±0.5 vertebrae on left‐to‐right lateral radiographs, being larger than the 9.7±0.5 vertebrae proposed by Buchanan (P
