Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the electrocardiographic parameters in both station and right lateral decubitus positions in baby alpacas. The work was done in 30 alpacas (17 males and 13 females) of 60 days old, from the communities alpaqueras Maranganí, Canchis in Cusco. The electrocardiographic values in station and right lateral decubitus were: heart rate 124.83 and 114.16, P wave duration 0.04 and 0.04 s, P wave amplitude 0.180 and 0.173 mV, duration and PQ 0.101 s 0.102, 0.039 and 0.038 QRS duration s, QRS complex 0.643 and 0.557 mV, duration and QT 0.225 0.2370.040 s, T wave amplitude 0.393 and 0.413 mV. The values of ECG parameters showed no significant differences between the two positions. We conclude that is possible to use any positions for the clinic examen in alpacas.
