Establishment of vertebral heart scale in the growth period of the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata)

We performed a thoracic X-ray examination of 56 Japanese macaques to obtain normal reference values for vertebral heart scale (VHS). Mean VHS was 10.25+-0.94v. In males, mean VHS was 10.56+-0.73v, with no significant correlation to age or weight. In contrast, mean VHS in females was 9.97+-1.03v, and...

Zusammenfassung:	We performed a thoracic X-ray examination of 56 Japanese macaques to obtain normal reference values for vertebral heart scale (VHS). Mean VHS was 10.25+-0.94v. In males, mean VHS was 10.56+-0.73v, with no significant correlation to age or weight. In contrast, mean VHS in females was 9.97+-1.03v, and tended to decrease with increasing age and weight. These findings will facilitate the diagnosis of cardiac disease in Japanese macaques in the future.
