Electrocardiography of dogs and cats. Formation and interpretation of heart rhythm

This book is a comprehensive theoretical and practical guidance for deciphering electrocardiograms of dogs and cats. It first gives an idea of ​​veterinary electrocardiography - based on the analysis of arrhythmias using electrophysiological research. Understanding the formation of electrocardiographic teeth, both in normal and pathological conditions, allowed the authors to simplify complex material, making it more accessible for understanding. A simple and logical course of presentation used in this book allows you to understand electrocardiography from the origin of an electric impulse to the analysis of the most common rhythm disorders in dogs and cats. In this book you will find:
* A full description of the anatomy and physiology of the conducting system of the heart, the theory of formation and registration of electrocardiographic teeth,
* detailed analysis of the normal heart rhythm, an increase in atrial and ventricles and various arrhythmias, which is illustrated by additional images and diagrams, where fragments of electrocardiograms are given with appropriate electrocardiographic characteristics,
* Description of the supraventricular and ventricular ectopic contractions and rhythms, supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias, which are observed in dogs and cats,
* Analysis of all rhythm disorders that lead to a decrease in heart rate, such as bradyarrhythmias and conductivity disorders,
* Description of arrhythmias that occur during systemic pathologies or caused by the use of sedative, sleeping pills and anesthetic drugs,
* Electrocardiograms of patients with implantable pacemakers (rhythm drivers) The book will be an excellent textbook for students studying veterinary cardiology. It will also become an indispensable assistant for doctors in the field of general medicine, specialists in the field of cardiology and anesthesiology and all those who are faced with the need to analyze electrocardiographic data in clinical and outpatient practice
