Assessment of left ventricular function by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in small breed dogs with hyperadrenocorticism.

Seven of eight global 2D-STE variables, namely LSR S , LSR E , LS, global CSR S , CSR E, and CS, were significantly decreased in dogs with LVH compared to controls ( P = 0.004, P = 0.009, P = 0.002, P = 0.014, P = 0.021 and P = 0.001, respectively); however, these differences between dogs with LVH ( n = 9) and without LVH ( n = 10) in the HAC group did not reach statistical significance.
