- Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine electro cardio graphy change in 200 dogs in Baghdad capital during the period from November 2018 to June 2019.The cardiac disorders were detected by record the values of ECG parameters in both sex (male &female), breed (German Shepard, Labrador, Belgium), their ages ranged from ≤4 to >7 years and the weight ranged from ≤27 to >27Kg. The result showed a normal ECG 50/200 (25)% for dogs. The electro cardio graphic abnormalities of the heart of these dogs is 150/200 (75)%. These cardiac abnormalities appeared irregular rhythm (arrhythmia) 52 (26)%, left atrial enlargement 21 (10.5)%, left ventricular enlargement 15 (7.5)%, hyperkalemia 15 (7.5)%, tachycardia 11 (5.5)%, low voltage QRS 7 (3.5%), atrial fibrillation 6 (3)%, ST elevation or depression 6 (3)%, bradycardia 5 (2.5)%, right atrial enlargement 5 (2.5)%, left bundle branch block 2 (1)%,ventricular escape rhythm 2 (1)%, first degree of heart block 2 (1)%, and ventricular fibrillation 1 (0.5)%. Further more, the results of heart disorders recorded in male (76.61%) were higher than female (72.63%). Also the German Shepard dogs showed a higher percentage (77%) than Belgium (72%) and Labrador (75%). The difference according to the age revealed that the age group ≤ 4 year (78%) was higher than 5-7 year (69.87%), and according to the weight of dogs, the under weight ≤ 27kg (77.35%) was higher than 27Kg< (72.34%).The non-significant effect of all factors could be attributed to harshness of environment that affect all animals in addition to the effects of these factors could be not detected when the sample size was not a large.
