Groups II and III presented gastricdilatation postmortem.
2
Conclusions: Variables for assessing gastric electrical and contractile activities were unaffected 18 hours after acute gastricdilatation.
3
Four dogs died of causes unrelated to LAG or gastricdilatation volvulus (GDV) in the follow-up period.
4
Only 1 (3.3%) dog had clinical recurrence of gastricdilatation after surgery.
5
Objective: To investigate the effects of experimentally induced acute gastricdilatation on electrical and mechanical activities of the stomach in dogs.
