Calculators

Echo calculator and M-mode reference range tool for canine echocardiography. Assess pimobendan indication  in pre clinical degenerative mitral valve disease (MVD) using EPIC criteria, verify left ventricular measurements against published breed specific reference ranges and Cornell allometric scale. 

Degenerative Mitral Valve Disease (MVD) Preclinical  Assessment Calculator

Enter patient details to assess whether pimobendan is indicated for your asymptomatic Mitral Valve Disease cases.
Based on EPIC study criteria.
​
EPIC Criteria:

  • Systolic murmur ≥3/6

  • Weight ≤15 kg

  • Age >6 years

  • LA:Ao >1.6

  • LVIDdN >1.7

Breed‑Specific Echo Reference Ranges for Dogs 

Select a breed to instantly view its published  echo reference ranges.

 

Compiled from peer-reviewed veterinary cardiology papers. 

M-Mode normal reference range

Input your patient's body weight in the box to display the reference range for M-mode measurements (according to the Cornell allometric scale for patients weighing less than70kg).

Note: Reference values are a helpful guide, but they should not be used in isolation. Always interpret measurements alongside the patient’s body size, clinical presentation and other echocardiographic indices.

Final assessment must be based on the whole clinical picture rather than a single parameter
