Observed and expected reliability of echocardiographic volumetric methods and critical change values for quantification of mitral regurgitant fraction in dogs
Echocardiographic volumetric methods used to calculate stroke volume and RF<sub>MR</sub> have low accuracy and high variability in healthy dogs. Extrapolation of observed CCV to a range of expected RF<sub>MR</sub> suggests observers and methods are not interchangeable and variability might hinder routine clinical usage. Individual observers should be aware of their own variability and CCV.
