BUZZANO, O; MERCADO, M  and  LIGHTOWLER, C. Heart rate turbulence in dogs. InVet [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.1, pp.103-108. ISSN 1668-3498.

The authors study the cardiac autonomic control by measuring the heart rate turbulence using an ambulatory ECG (Holter) analyzed by a high-resolution software. Of the 25 patients studied, 12 were normal (presented the phenomenon of heart rate turbulence) and 13 not. The value for "Turbulence onset" was -6,6817%±EE 1,6469% and for "Turbulence slope" 25,484ms/RRint.± EE9,0388ms/RRint. The differences between the means for TO and TS of the groups with and without turbulence were significant
