Factors affecting the mean electrical axis of the heart in trained Thoroughbreds
Summary Background Assuming that the ventricular myocardium of horses is subjected to exercise‐induced hypertrophy, we hypothesised that the mean electrical axis (MEA) of the heart would change. Objectives To define a longitudinal study to detect any changes in the direction of the MEA in Thoroughbred horses using ECG.
