title: Radiocardiography in dogs with atrial fibrillation.
abstract: In 54 of 99 dogs with atrial fibrillation heart function was examined scintigraphically. Data on the ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV) and regurgitation fraction (RF) are presented. Of these animals 37 had a seriously decreased EF (less than 30%) with a more or less normal RF value, whereas a smaller group (17) had a moderately decreased EF (but greater than or equal to 30%) and a seriously increased RF value. In both groups the EDV was increased.
