Abstract

Mitral valve E point to septal separation (EPSS) was measured (X=3,27 ± 1,29mm) in healthy non-anaesthetised Beagle and German Shepherd dogs (0=50). The minimum and maximum values recorded were 1 and 6mm respectively. Breed, age, sex, mass and heart-rate had no significant effect on the EPSS value.
