Summary

Changes in the ECG were studied on 11 dogs after ligating the descending branch of the left coronary artery.

Changes in the position of the front limbs altered the Q and T Waves, and had a considerable effect on the ST interval. It is therefore of importance to maintain the front legs in a fixed position when recording the electrocardiogram.

Changes in the ECG after myocardial infarction are most marked when the dog lies on the right side with the right front leg forward and the left back.
