Snippet: This study shows that the new method were better correlated with left atrial size and LV mass suggesting that the correction of Einthoven's triangle WCT gives better results when obtaining 12lead ECGs in horses. The reported frequency of neoplasia in the horse is low but is likely under-reported due to the difficulty of establishing a definitive diagnosis.

Document: This study shows that the new method were better correlated with left atrial size and LV mass suggesting that the correction of Einthoven's triangle WCT gives better results when obtaining 12lead ECGs in horses. The reported frequency of neoplasia in the horse is low but is likely under-reported due to the difficulty of establishing a definitive diagnosis. Clinical signs may be vague, and neoplasia is often identified only at post-mortem examination. Delays in diagnosis may lead to increased morbidity whereas definitive diagnoses in terminal cases provide objective evidence in electing for humane euthanasia. Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy is a common paraneoplastic syndrome in other species, and could be utilized to aid in the identification of equine neoplasia. The objectives of this study were to identify the prevalence of hypercalcemia among horses with neoplasia, and to compare calcium, albumin, and the relationship between these values in horses with neoplasia, systemically ill horses without neoplasia, and healthy animals.
