Limited information exists regarding electrocardiographic parameters in clinically healthy donkeys. The study was carried out in 75 healthy adult animals (40 females and 35 males) using the Einthoven standard II and base-apex leads. The P wave showed usually a bifid shape deflection. The QRS complex of the donkeys appeared in several forms: QR and R were the most frequent in limb lead II, and QS and QR in the base-apex lead. Most T waves presented a simple negative configuration in lead II and biphasic shape in the base-apex one. Mean heart rate value was 52 beats per minute. The direction of the QRS vector in lead II had a mean value of 91.4 degrees. We observed a lack of detected arrhythmias. Statistically significant differences were observed between sexes for several parameters. The electrocardiogram of Zamorano-leones donkey differs in several duration, amplitude and morphologic parameters from that of several breeds of horses and donkeys. This fact justifies obtaining values for a specific breed against which to compare values for the same breed.

Introduction: The role of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in clinical prognostic stage I-III breast cancer patients with positive responses and achieving ypN0 after Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is controversial.
Methods: 3557 patients with TNM clinical prognostic stage (AJCC 8th Edition) I-III breast cancer with positive responses and achieving ypN0 following neoadjuvant therapy were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and followed through the end of 2020. COX proportional hazards models were employed to examine the associations between clinical or pathological parameters and OS.

Objectives: This study assessed the electrocardiographic pattern and cardiac inflammatory response of doxorubicin-induced myocardial injury in Wistar rats treated with ethanol extract.
Methods: Female Wistar rats (190-200 g) were assigned into five groups of seven rats each. The Group 1 (Control group) was given rat chow and drinking water while the Group 2 (doxorubicin group) received intraperitoneal administration of doxorubicin (2 mg/kg) once weekly for three weeks.

Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the most promising management method for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The P wave in the electrocardiogram (ECG) represents atrial depolarization. This study aims to correlate P-wave parameters after PVI with outcomes.

Background: Automatic classification of arrhythmias based on electrocardiography (ECG) data faces several significant challenges, particularly due to the substantial volume of clinical data involved in ECG signal analysis. The volume of clinical data has increased considerably, especially with the emergence of new clinical symptoms and signs in various arrhythmia conditions. These symptoms and signs, which serve as distinguishing features, can number in the tens of thousands.

Background: Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) is a frequent complication of right ventricular pacing that often requires re-operation for biventricular or conduction system pacing. Better methods for predicting PICM may inform initial pacing strategy and follow-up monitoring.
Objective: To determine if the spatial ventricular gradient (SVG), a vectorcardiographic marker of ventricular electrical and mechanical heterogeneity, is associated with subsequent development of PICM.
