This review article outlines a step-by-step approach to interpreting electrocardiograms in small animals, including practical guidance on recording and reducing artefacts.
Provides a step-by-step educational approach to interpreting and recording electrocardiograms in small animals.
THIS final article in the series outlines a step‐by‐step approach to interpreting electrocardiograms (ECGs) and describes the significance of the various P‐QRS‐T morphologies which may be seen on a trace. It concludes by providing practical guidance on recording an ECG and outlines the measures that can be taken to reduce artefacts on ECG traces. The first two articles in this series reviewed the electrical activity of the heart (Martin 2002a) and described the abnormalities associated with the conduction system of the heart (Martin 2002b).
Mike W. Martin (Wed,) conducted a review in ECG interpretation in small animals. This review article outlines a step-by-step approach to interpreting electrocardiograms in small animals, including practical guidance on recording and reducing artefacts.
