Equine chorionic gonadotropin (acronym given as eCG but not to be confused with ECG) is a gonadotropic hormone produced in the chorion of pregnant mares.Previously referred to as pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG), the hormone is commonly used in concert with progestogen to induce ovulation in livestock prior to artificial insemination.
There is a hypothesis that measurements of a horse's heart at rest are directly related to the same horse's cardiac function during exercise. Therefore, attempts have been made to take resting measurements of horses using an electrocardiograph (ECG). This has led to the development of the "heart score", which measures the QRS interval.
In hematology, effective circulating volume (ECV) is the volume of arterial blood effectively perfusing tissue. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] ECV is a dynamic quantity and not a measurable, distinct compartment. [ 1 ] This concept is useful for discussion of cardiovascular and renal physiology.
ECV, a computer virus, see Comparison of computer viruses; Essential Climate Variables, a set of systematically observable variables for climate assessment; Lancia ECV, a rally car; Electrochemical capacitance-voltage, a form of capacitance–voltage profiling; Unidad de Valor Constante, a former currency of Ecuador which had the ISO 4217 ...
A new approach to a routine blood test could predict a person’s 30-year risk of heart disease, research published Saturday in the New England Journal of Medicine found.. Doctors have long ...
A cardiac stress test is a cardiological examination that evaluates the cardiovascular system's response to external stress within a controlled clinical setting. This stress response can be induced through physical exercise (usually a treadmill) or intravenous pharmacological stimulation of heart rate.
The horse has been dealing with a hind hoof issue since the weekend. Arcangelo was the only Triple Crown winner scheduled to run in the Classic. Mage dropped out this week after developing a fever.
Normal EABV exists when the ratio of cardiac output to peripheral resistance maintains venous return and cardiac output at normal levels. EABV can be reduced, therefore, by factors which reduce actual arterial blood volume (hemorrhage, dehydration), increase arterial vascular capacitance (cirrhosis, sepsis) or reduce cardiac output (congestive ...
