Electrocardiograms were studied in nine species of nonhuman primates sedated with ketamine hydrochloride. Electrocardiographic values were similar in all species although heart rate and other rate-related values (QT and PR intervals) were species-dependent. Arrhythmias were infrequent. Ketamine hydrochloride did not appear to induce marked alterations in the ECG of primates.
