In veterinary medicine the ECG is an extremely useful piece of pre-anaesthetic and perioperative monitoring equipment. An arrhythmia can take multiple forms and can be a change in rate, rhythm or complex origin that differs from the normal pattern. This webinar will discuss the normal electrical pathway and cardiac cycle, as well as introduce many forms of cardiac arrhythmias, including lethal rhythms.
