Electrocardiographic changes in Panamanian Rattus rattus naturally infected by Trypanosoma cruzi

A simple, rapid method of performing electrocardiography on anesthetized rats is described. The electrocardiograms of 31 R. rattus naturally infected with T. cruzi and of 11 uninfected R. rattus are described. The most common abnormalities of infected rats were tachycardia, bradycardia, and supraven...

Zusammenfassung:A simple, rapid method of performing electrocardiography on anesthetized rats is described. The electrocardiograms of 31 R. rattus naturally infected with T. cruzi and of 11 uninfected R. rattus are described. The most common abnormalities of infected rats were tachycardia, bradycardia, and supraventricular arrhythmias.
