Abstract:Continuous data recording, using telemetry, is the preferred way of collecting electrocardiographic (ECG) data in conscious freely moving animals. In small animals, however; the resulting recordings can have indistinguishable P, Q, R, S and T segments due to low signal to noise ratios. In large animals, this has been addressed using wireless telemetry devices with an intravascular negative electrode, or solid tip lead (STL). The purpose of this study was to determine if STLs could be implanted in rats and resu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
