Dynamics of the Cardioelectric Field on the Body Surface during Atrial Depolarization in Rats with Experimental Holiday Heart Syndrome

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2023 Feb;174(4):417-420. doi: 10.1007/s10517-023-05720-6. Epub 2023 Mar 7.

Abstract

In model experiments reproducing the holiday heart syndrome in rats, a discrepancy between the depolarization of the right and left atria has been revealed, which manifested by an atypical arrangement of positive and negative cardiopotentials in the cardioelectric field on the body surface during the P wave and the absence of inversion of the areas of cardioelectric potentials before the onset of P waves in lead II ECG from the limbs.

Keywords: atrium; cardioelectric field; depolarization; experimental model of the holiday heart syndrome.
