Studies Into Equine Electrocardiography and Vectorcardiography

IV. Vector Distributions in some Arrhythmias

J R Holmes, B J Alps
PMCID: PMC1494728  PMID: 4227915

Abstract

The paper describes the changes in P, QRS and T vector orientations in the H plane in the aberrant beats in cases of partial atrioventricular block and premature atrial and ventricular systoles.

The sites of possible atrial ectopic foci are discussed in relation to the anatomy of the atrial chambers and the orientation of the P vectors associated with atrial ectopic beats.
