  • Page 5: Getting The Most From Your Ecg

    GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ECG The ECG tracing is a valuable diagnostic tool, and their interpretation can be a challenging task for the clinician and staff. However, with some simple study, the ECG will be an indispensable clinical parameter. Some recommended indications for the use of the ECG include: Any animal with a heart murmur or arrhythmia detected with a stethoscope.
  • Page 6 HELPFUL HINTS FOR GETTING QUALITY ECG TRACINGS Use a rubber mat to insulate the patient from a stainless steel table. Select a quiet or remote area of the clinic for the procedure. Leave the instrument turned off until the leads are attached and the animal is calm.
  • Page 7: Introduction

    AUTO and MANUAL modes provide optimal customization for diagnostic Interpretation. GROUNDING The J1010 is grounded during AC operation through the three-prong AC plug. During battery operation, a grounding wire (included) should be connected to the ground site on the back of the unit.
  • Page 8: Battery Operation

    BATTERY OPERATION The J1010 has an installed maintenance-free 12 volt NiMH rechargeable battery. Please allow 10 hours to completely recharge the battery if drained fully. Recharge in the AC operation mode: flip on the power switch at the back panel of the unit. Do not press the ON/OFF button.

  • Page 14: Attaching The Limb Electrodes

    ATTACHING THE LIMB ELECTRODES Attach four limb electrodes to soft muscular, not bony, areas at the limb joints using the following steps. Clean the skin with a cotton moistened with alcohol to remove oil. Connect the patient cable to the electrodes. Apply a small amount of 70% alocohol or electrode gel on the of the electrodes.
  • Page 15: Problem Solving With Cats

    PROBLEM SOLVING WITH CATS Unlike humans and most dogs, the cardiac axis is not aligned top right to bottom left in cats. The heart has a tendency to lie more centrally with its apex more ventral than the atria, i.e., the heart points downward towards the ground when the animal stands.

    Read Between the Lines Learning to interpret electrocardiograms will prove invaluable to your patients and practice By: Naomi L. Burtnick, MT (ASCP) The normal sequence of electrical activation in the heart is as So you are a veterinary technician and you would like to follows: learn how to interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs).
  • Page 20 A Case Example Here’s an example to get you thinking along these lines. a 7- year-old male boxer lethargically walks into the exam room with a history of exercise intolerance. You run a lead II rhythm strip that looks like the following: Recognizing Arrythmias This is where you will be of most help to you patient and the How are we going to analyze it? Scanning from left to right...
  • Page 21 the heart the SA node (the primary pacemaker of the heart) stimulates the atria generating a P wave, the impulse continues though the AV node (PR interval) , and down into the ventricles (QRS complex). But in this case, there is no P, PR or QRS which implies that the SA node never started the whole sequence or was blocked in the process.
  • Page 22 Some electrocardiographic complexes to emphasize differences in rate, rhythm, and shape. Normal Sinus Rhythm Impulses originate at SA node at normal rate All complexes evenly spaced; rate 60 to 100 / minute Sinus Bradycardia Impulses originate at SA node at slow rate All complexes normal, evenly spaced;...
  • Page 23 Some electrocardiographic complexes to emphasize differences in rate, rhythm, and shape. Idioventricular Rhythm Rate < 40 / minute Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm (AIVR) Rate 40 to 120 Ventricular Tachycardia Rate > 120 Ventricular Fibrillation Pacer Rhythm Pacemaker spike...
  • Page 24 P Wave: the P wave is the first positive deflection and represents atrial depolarization. It normally appears smoothly rounded and recedes each QRS complex at a specific interval. P-R Interval: the P-R interval represents impulse conduction through the atria and into the AV node. It extends from the beginning of the P wave to the onset of the Q wave.
  • Page 25 Electrocardiographical Signs of Pathological Changes in the Heart Right atrial enlargement P wave is usually tall, slender, and peaked. Left atrial enlargement Increased duration of the P wave, notching of the P wave. Left Ventricular Enlargement As a result of the increased muscle mass the height of the R wave is increased, the QRS complex is delayed or altered in conduction, the S-T segment is depressed, and the T wave is changed.
  • Page 26 ECG: One or more P waves are not followed by QRS-T complexes. Complete Heart Block Complete heart block occurs when AV conduction is absent and the ventricles are under the control of pacemakers below the area of the block. Clinical signs associated with complete heart block are syncope, sudden death, and congestive heart failure.
  • Page 27 Arrythmias Originating in the Atrial Muscle Atrial Premature Complexes Atrial premature complexes arise from ectopic atrial foci. They are frequently caused by cardiac dis- ease and may progress to atrial tachycardia or atrial fibrillation. Atrial premature complexes are often caused by atrial enlargement from acquired chronic valvular insufficiency, primary myocardial disease, right atrial hemangiosarcoma, hyperthyroidism, digitalis tox- icity, general anesthesia, and various drug, chemical or noxious stimuli.
  • Page 28 ECG: Heart rate is usually normal. the ectopic QRS complex is premature, bizarre, and often of large amplitude. The T wave is directed opposite to the QRS deflection. VPCs of identical shape are called unifocal’ when the QRS is variable, they are termed multiformed. Ventricular Tachycardia Ventricular tachycardia is a continuous series of three or more VPCs.
  • Page 29 Effect of Selected Diseases on the Electrocardiogram Hyperkalemia Hyperkalemia is a common clinical problem in cats with urinary tract obstruction. Addison’s disease is a common cause of hyperkalemia in the dog. ECG Changes: K+>5.5 mEq/l: T waves larger and peaked. K+>6.5 mEq/l: R wave decreased, QRS prolonged, P-R interval prolonged.
