Abstract :
Heart ultrasonography is used in veterinary diagnostic imaging. One of the applications in echocardiography is fractional shortening, that is applied in veterinary and pattern standard to estimate of this. Recent study shows one use of echocardiography and fractional shortening index in dog. In this study, six dogs were selected with big mix bred and these animals were studied by standard echocardiographic operations .In this survey the heart fractional shortening calculated in short and long axis views in systole and diastole positions. No significant differences were observed between them. Also views that diameters of internal left ventricle in systole and diastole in short and long axis no significant differences were observed between them.
