Key result
High-quality resting and exercising ECG protocols improve equine arrhythmia diagnosis and prognosis accuracy.
Why the study?
Cardiac arrhythmias are common in horses and require good quality resting and exercising ECG recordings to accurately diagnose and assess prognosis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
This article provides guidance on recording high-quality resting and exercising ECGs in horses to improve arrhythmia diagnosis.
Background: Cardiac arrhythmias are commonly encountered in horses and can impact the performance of a horse, as well as affect the safety of both the horse and rider. To determine the impact of an arrhythmia, an exercising ECG is required. Aim of the article: This article describes how to record good quality resting and exercising ECG traces to maximise the accuracy of arrhythmia diagnosis and prognosis.
