Abstract

In this study electrocardiographic values of 44 Doberman pinscher dogs (11 months to 8.5 years old and with body masses of 34.4±4.9 kg) were measured. After clinical examination no signs of any disease were found, and anamnestic data indicated no cardiac disorders. After data analysis values of heart rate (127.9±23.6 beats per minute, with a range of 70 to 176 min-1), P wave amplitude (0.211±0.072 mV, with a range of 0.1 to 0.35 mV), P wave duration (0.04±0.003 s, with a range of 0.03 to 0.05 s), QRS complex duration (0.053±0.01 seconds, with a range of 0.02 to 0.07 s), R wave amplitude (1.66±0.56 mV, with a range of 0.6 to 3 mV), Q wave amplitude (0.65±0.4 mV, with a range of 0.05 to 1.8 mV), Q-T interval duration (0.187±0.024 s, with a range of 0.14 to 0.26 s) and S-T segment level (-0.049±0.068 mV, with a range of -0.2 to 0.1 mV) were similar to published standard values, but values of mean electrical axis (50.9°±26°, with a range of -42° to 101°) were considerably aberrant.
