Article Synopsis
- Vertebral heart size (VHS) is commonly used to measure heart dimensions in dogs, but it has limitations, especially in dogs with spinal issues.
- A study compared VHS with a new method called heart-to-single vertebra ratio (HSVR) for accuracy and agreement among observers.
- The results showed strong correlation and low bias between the two methods, suggesting that HSVR could be a more efficient and objective alternative for assessing cardiac size in dogs.
