Unipolar thoracic electrocardiograms in which P waves of relative uniformity occur in male horses

Am J Vet Res. 1987 Dec;48(12):1697-9.

Abstract

Bipolar and unipolar limb leads and unipolar thoracic lead ECG were obtained from 100 male crossbred horses. P-wave morphologic features were classified according to positivity negativity and monopolarity dipolarity, and the percentage of horses that had P waves of a given morphologic class in each lead was calculated. P-Wave morphologic features of 4 precordial leads were most uniform, with greater than 80% of the horses having a single configuration.
