Whether dealing with routine examinations, poor performance cases, cardiac murmurs, or suspected arrhythmias, this book provides the knowledge and confidence needed to make informed clinical decisions.

Advances in veterinary medical technology now provide easier and more affordable access to equine ECG recording and transmitting equipment, making ECG recordings a useful tool for equine veterinarians in both field and hospital settings.

Covering the basics of equine ECG recording, analysis, and interpretation, this book provides a practical approach with details of how to get the most information out of your ECG recordings. The only book dedicated to equine ECGs, it includes:

• Numerous clear ECG illustrations
• Worked case examples to put theory into practice
• New pharmacological therapies and interventional techniques

Written specifically for equine practitioners, the book explains the fundamentals of equine cardiac electrophysiology, ECG recording techniques, waveform analysis, and the identification of normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms. Complex concepts are presented in a clear, clinically relevant format, making ECG interpretation more accessible for both students and experienced veterinarians.
