2014
Israa Abdul Wadood Mohammad Ali
The objective of the work was to study Electrocardiography in normal doges and in dogs treated with intravenous furosemide for 14 days. In present study eight dogs in different sex and two years age used ,serum potassium level determined using commercial kit and ECG evaluate twice daily pre and post furosemide use . ECG tracing compared in the two groups (treated and control) . when serum k + reach (4.4 mEq/ L ±1.044) at day four from starting , and in the last five days of treatment the mean of serum potassium reach (3.2 m Eq /L ± 0.504 ). the electrocardiographic changes shows features of hypokalemia T inversion or flatting of T wave in limb leads (I,II,III),avl, avf and most of the chest leads .
