Abstract

Ventriküler prematüre kompleks kobaylarda nadir
görülen bir durumdur. Bu raporda kobay sternal pozisyonda masaya yerleştirildi
ve elektrokardiyogramı kaydedildi. Trasede, ventriküler prematüre komplekslerin
birbirinden farklı ve P dalgaları ile ilişkili olmadığı görüldü. Ventriküler
yanıtlar düzensizdi. Bu durumda; ventriküler prematüre kompleks, konjenital
kalp defekti veya kardiyomiyopati ile ilişkili olabilir.
