    Citation Excerpt :

    While elevated left atrial pressures measured by catheterism had fair correlations with PTF in humans,5 only poor correlations were found between E wave and PTF in MMVD dogs in the present study. In veterinary19,41 and human42,43 medicine, increased P-wave duration in the frontal leads is associated with left atrial overload and may coincide with left atrial enlargement. Previous studies using lead II in dogs23,44 and cats45 showed that P-wave duration correlated fairly with left atrial dimensions.
