Annotation

Studies on heart rate variability and measurements of heart rate variability in horses have been conducted, but Kaplan indices and measures of cardiac stress and cardiac arrhythmia have not previously been performed in the animals studied, and their normal values are not described in the available literature. Considering the subtleties of the mechanisms of autonomic regulation of cardiac activity, it is necessary to expand the diagnostic base of very common heart diseases in horses. The purpose of this study was to study the indicators obtained from mathematical analysis of heart rate variability and variational monitoring of heart rate in horses. 150 clinically healthy horses were studied. We recorded cardiac intervalograms using a computer polygraph amplifier “MKS Cardi2-NP” (Russia). The recording was carried out on horses in a calm state, standing at the junction in the corridor. “CONAN” was used to analyze the resulting heart rate. Normal values of indicators in horses have been established. In this regard, it is advisable to include the assessment of these indices in the basic set of methods for diagnosing heart diseases in horses.
