Assessing and treating cardiovascular disease (or heart disease) is a growing concern for institutions housing great apes, as it is a major cause of mortality in all four taxa managed in human care. As part of a proactive monitoring plan, zoological managers and veterinarians often elect to perform electrocardiograms (ECGs) on their great ape populations. ECGs noninvasively evaluate cardiac electrical activity, and are thereby capable of providing information regarding heart function. This electrical signature is transcribed as a visual display of waveforms, referred to as telemetry strips, and can detect irregularities in heart rhythm, also known as arrhythmia. While traditional 6- or 12-lead ECGs are recommended periodically as part of a thorough heart performance evaluation, here we discuss the KardiaMobile (KM) device as an additional primate welfare tool. KM is a small, Food and Drug Administration-cleared, clinical-grade mobile ECG monitor that requires only 30 s of pressure to flag heart rate or arrhythmic abnormalities. We detail the training process and applicability to great apes in human care.

通过创新的心电图技术监测类人猿心脏健康:培训方法和福利影响

评估和治疗心血管疾病(或心脏病)是饲养类人猿的机构越来越关注的问题,因为它是人类护理管理的所有四个分类群中死亡的主要原因。作为主动监测计划的一部分,动物管理员和兽医通常选择对其类人猿种群进行心电图 (ECG)。心电图无创地评估心脏电活动,从而能够提供有关心脏功能的信息。这种电信号被转录为波形的视觉显示,称为遥测条,可以检测心律的不规则性,也称为心律失常。虽然建议定期使用传统的 6 或 12 导联 ECG 作为全面心脏性能评估的一部分,但 在这里,我们讨论 KardiaMobile (KM) 设备作为额外的灵长类动物福利工具。KM 是一种小型、食品和药物管理局批准的临床级移动 ECG 监测器,只需 30 秒的压力即可标记心率或心律失常异常。我们详细介绍了人类护理中类人猿的培训过程和适用性。
