  1. Results of statistical comparisons between repeated measurements by observer two at an interval of more than 2 weeks of the different three-dimensional echocardiographic based volumetric analyzing software programs (4D-TomTec™, 4D-AutoLVQ™) used to calculate left ventricular end-diastolic (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV) and ejection fraction (EF) in 10 healthy anesthetized beagles. Bold letters illustrate significant differences (P < 0.05)
