  • Title: Change in M-mode echocardiographic values in cats given ketamine.
    Author: Jacobs G, Knight DH.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1985 Aug; 46(8):1712-3. PubMed ID: 4037498.
    Abstract:
    Determination was made of changes in heart rate and certain M-mode echocardiographic values in healthy cats given ketamine (3 to 5 mg/kg, IM). Heart rate and septal and left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole increased, and left ventricular internal diameter in diastole and shortening fraction decreased (P less than 0.02) after ketamine was given. With the adjustment for heart rate by analysis of covariance, left ventricular internal diameter in diastole, shortening fraction, and velocity of circumferential fiber shortening were significantly decreased (P less than 0.05) from base-line values.
