SUMMARY Serial B‐ and M‐mode echocardiography was performed on Greyhounds to determine normal cardiac values for this breed. These were generally of greater magnitude than predicted from previous echocardiographic research on other breeds and crossbreeds. In particular, left ventricular posterior wall thickness, measured at both systole and diastole, was consistently greater.
