ABSTRACT
Chalmeh A, Pourjafar M, Badiei K, Naghib V., Effect of aging on normal electrocardiographic
parameters in dromedary camels, Onl J Vet Res., 17
(11):626-631, 2013. Electrocardiograms were recorded from 112 clinically
healthy dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius). Camel groups of both sexes aged <6 and
6-12 months, 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-15 and 16-18 years old were used.
Electrocardiograms were recorded on a bipolar base apex lead using a limb lead
I. There were no significant changing patterns of P and T-duration,
R-amplitude, P-R, Q-T and S-T interval among any group. However, P, R, S and
T-amplitudes were significantly lower, and R-R intervals higher in adults, compared
with younger camels. The findings
suggest that physiological changes in electrocardiographic parameters do occur
during aging and resizing of dromedary camels.
Keywords: electrocardiographic parameters,
changing patterns, aging, dromedary camel.
