Abstract
For spatial vectocardiography to become applicable for cardiac investigation in cattle, it was necessary to develop a reliable standardized electrocardiographic lead system in this species. In this study, four tridimensional lead systems, initially developed in horses, were compared when applied in calves. Fifty seven electrocardiograms were collected. The between-subject variability of the magnitude and angles of the tridimensional P, QRS and T modal vectors obtained by use of each lead system was compared. Reproducibility of vectrocardiographic measurements was analyzed by comparing results obtained in 10 calves within a one day interval. The Holmes semi-orthogonal lead system, giving the lowest between-subject variability and the highest between-day reproducibility, appeared to be the most reliable lead system in order to apply vectocardiography in the bovine species.Keywords
