Comparison of in-hospital and 24-Hour Ambulatory Electrocardiography in Dogs with Heart Disease

Öz

Background/Aim: The purpose of the study was to compare the short and long term individual electrocardiographic findings in preclinical asymptomatic and clinical symptomatic dogs with heart disease. Material and Method: 2 minute clinic ECG and 24-h Holter monitoring were performed in 30 dogs. Disturbances in impulse conduction, impulse formation and heart rate were assessed. Results and Conclusion: A significant linear correlation was found between the average heart rates detected by clinic ECG and Holter monitoring in preclinical group: y= 45.33 + 1.023x P

Özbilgi/Amaç: Bu çalışma ile; semptomatik ve asemptomatik kalp hastalıklı köpeklerde kısa ve uzun dönem elektrokardiyografik bulgularının karşılaştırılaması amaçlandı. Materyal ve Metot: 30 köpekte 2 dakikalık klinik EKG ve 24 saat Holter kaydı gerçekleştirildi. İmpuls oluşum, iletim ve kalp atım sayısındaki değişiklikler değerlendirildi. Bulgular ve Sonuç: Klinik EKG ve Holter kaydı ile belirlenen ortalama kalp atım sayıları arasında sırasıyla; preklinik grupta: y= 45.33 + 1.023x P
