Ostium diameters (arithmetic mean of width and height) of left (LCA) and right (RCA) coronary artery. Green dots – mean diameters of two independent ostia observed in LCA of two dogs. Divided ostia are not presented in this figure

Fig. 9.

Ostium diameter (arithmetic mean of width and height) of right (RCA) and left (LCA) coronary artery, presented as median (bold line), interquartile range (box), and range (whiskers), in four body weight classes based on three quartiles of the body weight distribution. P-values derived from the Wilcoxon signed rank test apply to the comparison of ostium diameter between LCA and RCA within each body weight class

Detailed dimensions of three types of ostia (excluding divided ostia) of left (LCA) and right (RCA) coronary artery presented for all dogs with a particular type of ostium (overall) and separately for four body weight classes based on three quartiles of the body weight distribution_ Dimensions of ostia are summarised as median, interquartile range, and range
