ECG and Radiography in the Assessment of the Heart Condition in Sheep
We have described electrocardiographic and radiographic indicators characterizing the state of the heart and thoracic organs in sheep. The amplitude and the polarity of the waves of ECG in I, II and III leads in healthy sheep of Kuchugurovskaya breed are specified. Dystrophic changes in the myocardium in sheep are secondary, such as for instance the result of systemic metabolic disorders. Changes in heart as to severity and clinical picture are related to the age of the animals. Thus, electrocardiography and X-ray can find practical use in the diagnosis of pathology of the cardiovascular system and lungs in sheep.
