  • Title: Digital phonocardiography of cardiac arrhythmias in dogs - Preliminary experiences.
    Author: Balogh M, Koch F, Siver L, Krima A, Vörös K.
    Journal: Acta Vet Hung; 2021 Jul 06; 69(2):116-124. PubMed ID: 34270460.
    Abstract:
    Electronic stethoscopes and digital phonocardiograms (DPCGs) can be applied when diagnosing cardiac murmurs, but their use for cardiac arrhythmias is not described in veterinary medicine. Data of 10 dogs are presented in this preliminary study, demonstrating the applicability of these techniques. Although the number of artefacts and the amount of baseline noise produced by the two digitising systems used did not differ, the Welch Allyn Meditron system or similar ones capable of simultaneous recording of electrocardiograms (ECGs) and DPCGs provide a better option for clinical research and education, whilst the 3M Littmann 3200 system might be more suitable for everyday clinical settings. A combined system with simultaneous phonocardiogram and ECG, especially with wireless transmission, might be a solution in the future.
