“…Due to the effects of these factors on the heart rate and its rhythm, auscultation and most ecg techniques are unsatisfactory for measuring cardiac activity in animals in an undisturbed state during unrestrained behaviour, or for prolonged readings or the determination of bradycardia or tachycardia in stressful or pathological conditions. Cardiac monitors which can be attached to the subject have been developed for use in programmes to assess the physical fitness of people (Seaward and others 1990) and for use in animals (Foreman and Rabin 1984, Evans and Rose 1986, Matsui 1994) and these are capable of measuring cardiac activity in circumstances in which other techniques are unsuitable.…”

Abnormalities of heart rate and rhythm in bovine spongiform encephalopathy

Heart rates of healthy cows and cows suspected of having bovine spongiform encephalopathy were measured by auscultation and by a portable cardiac monitor. Bradycardia was demonstrated in suspect cases which were confirmed histopathologically. Disturbances in cardiac rhythm were also evident in some cases. Healthy cows deprived of food exhibited bradycardia. The administration of pharmacological doses of atropine indicated that bradycardia in BSE was mediated by increased vagal influence, suggesting that the cardioinhibitory reflexes in the caudal brainstem were functionally altered by the disease.

“…During and after exercise, HR was measured by a heart rate computer (EqB HR/8a) 4 with the electrodes held in place by an elastic surcingle in the saddle area. This HR monitor has been shown in previous studies in our laboratory to be accurate when compared to ECG-derived HRs (Foreman and Rabin 1984). Heart rate was recorded at the end of both exercise steps and while standing quietly on the treadmill during recovery at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min post exercise.…”

“…There are many exogenous and endogenous factors affecting the resting heart rate (HRresting) in horses [1,2]. According to several studies resting HR (HRresting) can be lowered through training [3][4][5][6][7] although there are many other studies that did not report such an effect [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The type of training program applied is likely to be an explanation for the differing results.…”

Relationship between Resting and Recovery Heart Rate in Horses

In endurance racing the heart rate (HR) of horses in the veterinary gates has to reach a maximum set to continue racing. There is no literature on the relationship between resting HR (HRresting) and HR after exercise (HRrecovery). This relationship was examined in seven horses and the results were related to their v4 (speed at which the blood lactate concentration is 4 mmol/L). Horses were submitted to an exercise test to determine v4. Thereafter, horses were exercised on a treadmill in randomized order for 10 and 60 min at different speeds. HR was measured before exercise and several times until 30 min of recovery. The relationship between HRresting and HRrecovery was significant in 16 out of 35 comparisons. There were no significant relationships between the v4 of the horses and their HRresting and between v4 and HRrecovery after 10 min of exercise, regardless of the speed of exercise, with one exception. The relationship between the v4 of the horses and their HRrecovery after 60 min of exercise was significant in the fifth minute after exercise at 3.5 m/s only. Conclusion: Because HRresting and HRrecovery are often related, pre-determined arbitrary HRrecovery values may not allow for fair competition during endurance racing.
