Electrocardiography of Laboratory Animals, Third Edition, is an essential resource for biological and medical researchers, veterinarians, zoologists, and students. With the increasing global emphasis on the ethical care and use of laboratory animals in research, this comprehensive guide provides a standardized approach to performing and analyzing electrocardiograms (ECGs) across all species used in today’s research. The book provides the latest information on critical topics such as safety electrocardiography, toxicology, safety pharmacology, and telemetry, ensuring that readers are well-equipped with the knowledge required for accurate ECG interpretation in preclinical studies. The book is carefully organized into detailed chapters, beginning with the fundamental principles of electrocardiography and its application in drug safety evaluation. It covers the electrocardiography of a wide range of laboratory animals, including rodents, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, and various non-human primates such as marmosets, cynomolgus monkeys, rhesus monkeys, baboons, and chimpanzees. Additionally, it reviews the ECG characteristics of minipigs, nanopigs, and micropigs. The text also includes chapters on telemetry and echocardiography in preclinical safety studies, as well as discussions on important parameters like PR (PQ), QRS, and QT intervals. The book concludes with chapters on cardiac assays, biomarkers, stem cells, and cardiovascular medical devices, providing a holistic view of cardiovascular research. This enhanced and expanded Electrocardiography of Laboratory Animals, Third Edition offers invaluable insights and practical guidance, making it an indispensable tool for those involved in the care and study of laboratory animals. Its comprehensive coverage and detailed explanations ensure that readers can confidently conduct and interpret ECGs, thereby advancing the field of preclinical safety evaluation and contributing to the ethical and effective use of animals in research.
