Presentation Description / Summary: During the presentation after a brief description of the cardiac vectors on the horizontal plane studied throughout the analysis of precordial or chest leads, different new applications of this system in the dog will be analysed: right and left ventricular R-peak time and interventricular dyssynchrony, pre-excitation patterns, electrocardiographic appearance and differential diagnosis of bundle branch block and monomorphic ventricular tachycardias, repolarization abnormalities in dogs with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
Learner Outcomes: 1) analysis of interventricular dyssynchrony 2) analysis of pre-excitation patterns, 3) electrocardiographic appearance and differential diagnosis of bundle branch block and monomorphic ventricular tachycardias and late-phase depolarization and repolarization abnormalities in dogs with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, partecipants will be able to use the 12-lead system in dogs to study cardiomyopathies, pre-excitation syndromes, and ventricular arrhythmias.
Upon completion, partecipants will be able to use new diagnostic algorythms for the diagnosis of monomorphic ventricular tachycardias, pre-excitation syndromes and new electrocardiographic findings in can
Upon completion, partecipants will be able to apply the information gained with precordials leads in the daily clinical practice
