Frequency and number of B ‐lines using a regionally based lung ultrasound examination in cats with radiographically normal lungs compared to cats with left‐sided congestive heart failure

ConclusionsThe lack of B‐lines in cats without respiratory disease (with radiographically normal lungs) and the predominance of B‐lines in cats with left‐sided CHF suggest that a regionally based LUS protocol may be clinically useful for the identification and evaluation of feline respiratory conditions.
