Body Surface Potential Mapping In Animal Experiments - Pilot Study

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present a pilot case study in the area of body surface potential mapping. This technology was used to record data from animal experiments with the goal to find out, what information could be derived from recorded ECGs in the protocol including induced myocardial ischemia. Data recorded before and after the ischemia were compared. Differences in ECG beat morphology were observed, also local changes in analysed intervals (QT, ST, QS, PT) were visible. It was hypothesiced that QT interval will be prolonged after myocardial ischemia. Nevertheless, according to out pilot study this hypothesis was declined.
