Electrocardiographic surrogates of structural myocardial alterations in the Dorper sheep heart
2005
Ker, J. | Webb, E.C.
In this study we evaluated the validity of well-known human electrocardiographic markers of myocardial pathology in Dorper sheep. These markers include: the duration of the QRS complex of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs), the presence of notching of the QRS complex of PVCs and change of the ST-segment of PVCs. It was shown that these three electrocardiographic phenomena correlate with myocardial pathology in the hearts of Dorper sheep. We also describe a new electrocardiographic indicator of myocardial pathology, namely an increase in the frequency of cardiac memory T waves as a new electrocardiographic surrogate for myocardial pathology in the hearts of Dorper sheep.
