Abstract

Digital electrocardiogram (ECG) recorders are rapidly replacing to conventional paper ECG recorders. Digital ECG recorders have several advantages over conventional type ECG recorders, including better capability for data storage, better portability and better applicability in clinical settings. In this study, we presented 4 case studies related to cardiac rhythm disturbances, which were diagnosed and managed using a digital ECG recorder.

소동물 임상에서 디지털 심전도기가 일반 아날로그 방식의 심전도기를 빠르게 대체하고 있다. 이러한 디지털 심전도기는 일반 아날로그 방식의 심전도기에 비해서 심전도 자료의 저장 능력, 이동성 및 넓은 임상적 적용 범위를 갖는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 소동물 임상에 있어서 이러한 디지털 심전도기의 유용성을 연구하였고, 실제 심장전도계 장애가 있는 4마리의 개를 진단하고 치료하였다.
