Digital computer analysis of the QRS complex of the dog, using the McFee axial system.
Digital computer analysis of the canine orthogonal electrocardiogram was performed on 30 clinically normal dogs, as recorded by the McFee axial system. The spatiogeometric properties calculated included: time duration of QRS, time integral of QRS, eigenvalues of the QRSsE loop, eigenvectors, spatial magnitude, and spatial velocity. Electrocardiograms were recorded by FM tape recorder, analogue-to-digital conversion performed, and the analytical procedure utilized the IBM 360/75 digital computer controlled by a FORTRAN G source program. The QRS complex and spatial values were qualitatively similar to those in other reports.
