To investigate heart rate and its variability, a telemetry device was affixed to 16 healthy,
young cats. Prior to inclusion in the study, cats were subject to echocardiographic …

Heart rates were obtained from 3 groups of cats. The first group comprised healthy cats
owned by veterinary students. These rates were obtained by the students at their homes by …

Twenty‐four‐hour ambulatory electrocardiograms were recorded in two age groups of 10
normal cats each: group 1 (1 to 4 years) and group 2 (8 to 14 years), with equal numbers of …

Heart rate variability (HRV) is considered to be a measure of autonomic regulation of cardiac
activity for assessing stress and welfare in animals. Polar® human heart rate monitors are …

Objective—To determine characteristics of power spectral analysis of heart rate variability
(HRV) during a 24-hour period in dogs and to evaluate the effects of vagal and sympathetic …

Objectives: An association between heart rate (HR) and bodyweight has been reported in
dogs and it is common belief that small breeds of dog exhibit higher HR than large breeds …

Objectives To evaluate relationships between heart rate and clinical variables in healthy
dogs and dogs examined at a referral hospital. Methods Clinical data were extracted from …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the heart rate, rhythm, number of ventricular premature
complexes (VPCs) and atrial premature complexes (APCs) in unsedated cats using Holter …

Objectives: To evaluate population characteristics, clinical signs and simple
echocardiographic measurements of a general practice population of cats, in identifying …

The aim of this study was to determine whether changes in body position alter feline
electrocardiographic parameters. Forty‐seven cats referred to the Feline Unit of the …
