Electrocardiography (ECG)
Our animal hospital routinely performs electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) recordings as part of our pre-anesthetic and/or anesthetic monitoring, depending on your pet's condition. An ECG is a readout of the electrical activity of the animal's heart and gives veterinarians information on your pet's heart rate, heart rhythm and potential irregularities called arrhythmias. When certain arrhythmias are detected, it is often advised that your pet is seen by a veterinary cardiologist.
