ABSTRACT
Chalmeh
A, Pourjafar M, Mehdi Heidari
SM, Sanati AR, Shahbazi A, Badkobeh M, Bagheri MH., Reference aged based base apex lead electrocardiography
in goats, Onl J Vet Res., 24 (6):351-355, 2020. Clinically
healthy Najdi goats aged 15 days (n=13), 2 months
(n=18), 6-months (n=19), 1 (n=10), 3 (n=22), 5 (n=16) and 7 year old (n=11) electrocardiograms
were recorded on bipolar base apex lead, using limb lead I. Compared with 15
day olds, in goats aged 1-7 years, P wave duration was 33-40%, amplitude 19%, T
wave ~32%, PR-interval 38-41%,
RR-interval 44-47%, QT-interval 34-46% and ST-interval 39-52% longer (P < 0.05).
P, R, S and T wave amplitude were not different between age groups. Smaller volume
of the gastrointestinal tract, body and heart size in young goats may account for differences in
ECG.
