Studies on the mitral valves and measurements of end-diastolic, end-systolic and heart minute volume, and myocardial contractibility indices of English racing and show-jumping horses using M-mode echocardiography

Abstract

In this study, mitral valves, left ventricle volume and myocardial contractibility indices in English racing (n:30) and showjumping horses (n:30) were investigated using M-mode echocardiography.
