Second-degree Mobitz II atrioventricular (AV) block, unlike the Mobitz I block, is characterized by presenting a normal PR interval before a non-conducted P wave and after this. Some blocks occur for physiological, metabolic, and structural causes, and due to the administration of α2-adrenergic...

Cardiac arrhythmias may cause decreased performance and sudden death during exercise. Our objectives were: (1) to determine prevalence of unrecognised arrhythmias in a population of competition draft horses by performing short duration screening electrocardiograms (ECGs) at rest; and (2) to assess...

Background Due to compactness and cheapness, smartphone ECG (sECG) could be very useful to equine practitioners. However, previous studies have evaluated the accuracy of sECG in hospitalised horses only. Different conditions in the field could influence the accuracy of the device. The aim of this...
