The study was conducted on eight German shepherd dogs to establish the Doppler echocardiographic reference values. Positive correlation with age and body weight was observed in Doppler echocardiographic measurements of Peak tricuspid velocity (A peak), while age was positively correlated with Peak mitral velocity (ME/A). Negative correlation with age and body weight was observed in Doppler echocardiographic measurements of Peak mitral velocity (A peak, P peak), Peak tricuspid velocity (E peak, TE/A), pulmonary velocity and aortic velocity, while body weight was negatively correlated with Peak mitral velocity (ME/A). The reference values of Doppler echocardiography established in apparently healthy German shepherd dogs would be helpful in diagnosis of various affections of the cardiovascular system.
