Effects of sedation with acepromazine on echocardiographic measurements in eight healthy thoroughbred horses
Journal Article
Menzies-Gow, N. J. Effects of sedation with acepromazine on echocardiographic measurements in eight healthy thoroughbred horses. Veterinary Record, 163(1), 21-25

Eight normal thoroughbred horses were examined by echocardiography before and 10 minutes after they had been sedated by the intravenous administration of 0.03 mg/kg acepromazine. There were significant (P < 0.025) increases in the diameters of the pu...
