Analysis of Base Apex Lead Electrocardiograms of Adult Buffaloes

Abstract

Electrocardiographic studies were carried out in healthy adult buffaloes in Proddatur of Andhra Pradesh state in India. The electrocardiograms were recorded in standard base apex lead system. Duration and amplitude of the P, QRS complex and T wave and the PR, RR, intervals, ST segments and heart rate were measured and averaged from successive beats. Mean heart rate was 61.175±0.8262bpm. Mean amplitudes of the P, QRS and T waves was 0.186±0.0042mV, 1.168±0.0181mV and 0.336±0.0095mV. Mean duration of P, QRS and T waves were 0.0648±0.0016sec, 0.0688±0.0014sec, 0.0968±0.0034sec. In this study correlation coefficient between heat rate and Q-T intervals was negative. Present study findings will be use full for the compare the different disease conditions in buffaloes.
