The SC view can be easily obtained in recumbent newborn foals and provides optimal alignment with aortic outflow, leading to more reliable Doppler flow velocity than the conventional L-LAX view. Further investigations of the potential use of this view in Doppler estimation of aortic outflow and cardiac assessment of sick foals are recommended.
