Introduction/objectives Insight into the three-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the equine heart is
essential in veterinary education and to develop minimally invasive intracardiac procedures …

Antivenom production against Loxosceles venom relies on horses being immunized and
bled for plasma harvest. One horse can partake in several cycles of antivenom production …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common performance limiting arrhythmia in
racehorses. High dose exercise and airway disease promote AF in humans. Few studies …

Abstract Approximately 1–2 per 100,000 young athletes die from sudden cardiac death
(SCD) and extreme exercise may be associated with myocardial scar and arrhythmias …

Materials and Methods: A total of 23 Thai native crossbred mares without any cardiac
abnormalities were included in this study. The animals were assigned into two groups, a non …

Simple Summary The atrioventricular node is fundamental in securing electrical conduction
in the heart. In horses, blocked atrioventricular conduction, known as second-degree …

Background Second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block at rest is very common in horses.
The underlying molecular mechanisms are unexplored, but commonly attributed to high …

Physical activity can activate extracellular matrix (ECM) protein synthesis and influence the
size and mechanical properties of tendon. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether …

Background Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) occurs sporadically and can impair athletic
performance. Gold standard for diagnosis is surface electrocardiography (ECG), however …

Arrhythmias are commonly reported in exercising horses, however due to regulatory
constraints electrocardiograms (ECGs) are acquired during training but not competition …
