Abstract
Cardiac disorders in horses are not generally manifested as in other animals; however, there are conditions that need to be properly diagnosed to assess athletic performance. There are several studies on the use of complementary diagnostic methods, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG), in equine cardiology. Despite this, there are no baseline data for the case of Colombian Creole horses (CCH). This study aimed to describe the electrocardiographic tracings of 57 CCH patients at the Clinica Veterinaria Lasallista, with prior discharge and no obvious clinical abnormalities. ECGs were performed on animals divided into age groups. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, and correlation coefficients were used. From each group, ranges of the amplitude and duration of various waves, intervals and segments were obtained. The only statistically significant difference was evidenced in the duration of the P-wave and the PR interval between age groups. Some of the ECG parameters had correlations with weight, age, and heart rate. This study makes an important contribution for those occasions when it is necessary to use electrocardiograms to validate the information obtained in clinical examination or in case of a suspected heart disease in CCHs, mainly, in case of arrhythmias.
期刊介绍:
The Revue de Médecine Vétérinaire publishes four kinds of text:
1) Scientific reviews on subjects related to veterinary and comparative medicine. Suggested length: 10 to 30 typed pages.
2) Original reports on fundamental or applied research. Suggested length: 10 to 15 typed pages.
3) Continuous education articles, that should be easily understandable by non-specialists. Suggested length: 10 to 15 typed pages.
4) Clinical reports. Suggested length: 5 to 15 typed pages.
The publication can be done in French language or English language.
For an article written in English by not english native speakers authors, the manuscript must be subjected by attesting that it was read again by an anglophone scientist or a scientific translator.
The authors must certify that the manuscript was not published or subjected for publication to another review.
The manuscript must be accompanied by a sheet signed by all the joint authors indicating their agreement for the tender of the manuscript.
The publication is free but a financial participation could be required for the photographs color. An estimate will be sent to collect the agreement of the authors.
