Left atrial fractional shortening in cats: a comparison between two echocardiographic views

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: and left ventricular systolic performance. ANIMALS, MATERIALS, AND METHODS: across the whole cohort and in cats with asymptomatic and symptomatic HCM. Correlation analysis was used to assess associations between LAFS% methods and forward aortic flow, left ventricular fractional shortening, and aortic root motion. RESULTS: and aortic root motion (r = 0.78 and r = 0.71, respectively) and a fair correlation with left ventricular fractional shortening (r = 0.31 and r = 0.29, respectively). None of the methods showed a correlation with indices of aortic flow. CONCLUSIONS: , and thus, these methods should not be used interchangeably. Both echocardiographic methods showed good correlation with aortic root motion.
