Abstract

Echocardiography is a noninvasive, highly sensitive method for evaluating heart disease in veterinary medicine, crucial for measuring cardiac structures and functions. Despite its importance, limited data exist on sheep, particularly the Ghezel breed, a significant breed in Iran. This study aimed to establish normal echocardiographic values for Ghezel sheep, providing reference data for both clinical and research applications. We evaluated 15 healthy Ghezel sheep with a mean age of 16.50 ± 1.80 months and a mean weight of 42.69 ± 4.73 kg. Comprehensive clinical exams, biochemical and hematological tests and color Doppler echocardiography were performed. Descriptive results from standard right and left parasternal views in both longitudinal and transverse planes were obtained and compared to existing studies. The study successfully established pulse wave Doppler reference values for the Ghezel breed. These findings could be used in diagnosing heart disease in Ghezel sheep and would be beneficial in future research particularly in sheep used as an animal model for translation in human cardiac studies.

正常格泽勒羊脉搏波多普勒超声心动图正常值。

超声心动图是一种无创、高灵敏度的兽医学心脏病评估方法，对测量心脏结构和功能至关重要。尽管它很重要，但关于绵羊的数据有限，特别是伊朗重要的品种Ghezel。本研究旨在建立格泽尔羊的正常超声心动图值，为临床和研究应用提供参考数据。我们选取了15只平均年龄为16.50±1.80个月，平均体重为42.69±4.73 kg的健康格泽尔羊。综合临床检查、生化、血液学检查及彩色多普勒超声心动图检查。在纵向和横向平面上获得标准的左右胸骨旁视图的描述性结果，并与现有研究进行比较。该研究成功地建立了格泽尔犬的脉冲波多普勒参考值。这些发现可用于诊断格泽尔羊的心脏病，并将有利于未来的研究，特别是将羊作为动物模型用于人类心脏研究的翻译。
