ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC RECORDS OF DOGS WITH HEART HYPERTROPHY

Violeta Alexandrova

Abstract: In this reserach, 36 dogs with heart hypertrophy have been examined electrographically. The values for the amplitude and the duration of all the elements of the ECG in the dogs with heart hypertrophy have been calculated and presented, as well as the systolic index and the electric heart axis in the same animals. Besides the basic electrocardiographic sign – high voltage of R wave, in some ECG other resulting modifications have been observed, where the changes might be related to diseases of the pericardial sac of the heart, diseases of the myocardium and in the cases of cardiomyopathies.
