Resumo
The purpose of this study was to collect data on the cardiac morphometry of thirty adult male and female
dogs without macroscopic changes indicative of heart disease, regardless of animal’s body weight and
score. The dogs were weighed, grouped according to their body weight, and necropsied for a macroscopic
evaluation of their cardiac measurements. The data obtained were included in a database. The following
cardiac measures were evaluated: vertical and horizontal axes, weight, volume, thickness of the right and
left atria and ventricles, and horizontal and vertical axes of the atrial and ventricular chambers. The heart
weight was found to represent 0.6 to 1.1% of the animal’s body weight. No differences were found in
cardiac size and weight as a function of sex. The ratio between the vertical and horizontal cardiac axes
was 1.11. The left ventricle was found to be 1.6 to threefold thicker than the right ventricle. The results
were considered standard for dogs and can be used for macroscopic evaluations of cardiac hypertrophy
or dilation.
