摘要
数字听诊器(DS)是一种具有成本效益的单导联数字听诊器,可在智能手机上同时记录心电图(ECG)和心音图。尽管该产品可用于小动物和马,但目前还没有关于其在驴身上应用的研究。本研究旨在评估基于智能手机的新型 DS 设备在驴心电图记录中的应用。由同一操作员分析 sECG 和 dECG 曲线,记录心率、心电图波和间隔以及伪影的存在和持续时间。37 头驴被纳入其中。所有动物的 dECG 曲线均可解读(100%)。结果显示,sECG 和 dECG 数据在心律分类和 P 波极性方面完全一致。在人工计算和智能手机应用程序自动计算的心率、QRS 波群极性、T 波极性和 PR 间期持续时间的评估中发现了很强的一致性。然而,在评估 P 波持续时间、QRS 波群持续时间和振幅以及 T 波持续时间和振幅时却没有发现一致性。总之,尽管这只是一项初步研究,但 DS 是一种有效、实用且易于使用的心电图工具,可用于记录高质量的心电图描记图,以评估野外驴的心电图。
Evaluation of a digital stethoscope for electrocardiographic recording in donkeys: Preliminary results
The digital stethoscope (DS) is a cost-effective single-lead digital stethoscope that allows simultaneous electrocardiographic (ECG) and phonocardiographic recordings on a smartphone. Despite its application in small animals and horses, there are currently no studies on its use in donkeys. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a new smartphone-based DS device in recording ECG tracings in donkeys. Standard base-apex lead ECG (sECG) and single-lead DS ECG (dECG) were simultaneously recorded for at least 30 s. Both sECG and dECG tracings were analysed by the same operator, recording heart rate, ECG waves and intervals, and the presence and duration of artefacts. Thirty-seven donkeys were included. The dECG tracings were interpretable in all the animals (100 %). The results showed perfect agreement between the sECG and dECG data for the classification of heart rhythm and P-wave polarity. Strong agreement was found in the evaluation of heart rate calculated manually and automatically by the smartphone app, QRS complex polarity, T wave polarity, and duration of the PR interval. However, no agreement was found in the evaluation of P wave duration, QRS complex duration and amplitude, and T wave duration and amplitude. In conclusion, although this is only a preliminary study, the DS was a valid, practical, and easy to use electrocardiographic tool for recording good-quality ECG tracings to assess the ECGs of donkeys in the field.
