Electrocardiography of Laboratory Animals is the only book covering electrocardiography of laboratory animals, including dogs, mini-pigs, and cynomologus monkeys. As more countries institute requirements for the care of laboratory animals in research, this publication offers an effective standard on performing and analyzing ECGs. Topics covered include safety electrocardiography, toxicology, safety pharmacology, and telemetry. Electrocardiography of Laboratory Animals will assist biological and medical researchers, veterinarians, zoologists, and students in understanding electrocardiography of various species of animals used in research. Covers safety electrocardiography of large laboratory animals Offers comprehensive analysis of ECGs for practical laboratory use Includes a self-evaluation section for testing of ECG reading and analysis

Electrocardiography of Laboratory Animals, Second Edition, is the only publication covering electrocardiography of laboratory animals. With countries instituting requirements for the care of laboratory animals in research, this publication offers a standard on performing and analyzing ECGs. Topics covered include safety electrocardiography, toxicology, safety pharmacology, and telemetry, all important areas of discussion for biological and medical researchers, veterinarians, zoologists, and students who need to understand the electrocardiography of five species of animals used in research: canines, nonhuman primates, mini pigs, rodents (rats and mice), rabbits and cats.

Offers guidance in interpretation of laboratory animal ECGs by animal typeProvides comparisons of ECGs across animal speciesIncludes coverage of three animal species: canines, nonhuman primates and mini pigs, also including three additional species: rodents (rats and mice), rabbits and catsSupports adherence to FDA requirements of ECG performance and qualitative analysis on large laboratory animals

The most effective, practical approach to the recognition and management of cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary diseases and disorders, Manual of Canine and Feline Cardiology, Sixth Edition, walks you through the challenges and conditions encountered in everyday clinical practice. This completely updated edition includes vital information on clinical treatments, diets, minimally invasive surgery, interventional procedures and imaging techniques. New artwork and enhanced coverage of cardiovascular disorders and treatment methods ensures you are well-equipped to handle every aspect of cardiac care in small animals.

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.Provides standardized methods for performing and analyzing ECGs in all laboratory animal speciesCovers essential topics like safety pharmacology, toxicology, telemetry, and echocardiography in preclinical studiesIncludes detailed normal and abnormal ECG variations for rodents, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, and non-human primate and pig speciesFeatures chapters on cardiac assays, biomarkers, stem cells, and cardiovascular medical devicesOffers practical self-assessment ECG rhythm strips to test and enhance diagnostic skills
