Artifact suppression and low noise electronics offer the
cleanest, most readable ECG trace possible. When this quality is combined
with an interference-free wireless connection to your computer, the result is an ECG system with a large screen display that can be easily seen from
across the room. ECG rhythm strips are a snap with the unique Vmed chest
sensor or use the included low force skin clips for diagnostic quality traces. ECG information, including clinic and patient
identification, ECG trace, heart rate, chart speed, gain, etc. can all be
displayed, saved
to file and stored on your computer without the hassle of downloading, all from
the battery-operated, hand-held unit. (See the
clinical papers page for a description of hand-held ECG in veterinary practices).
Available with or without ECG interpretation software. (Visit

"The majority of veterinarians can interpret
their own ECG’s by just simply focusing on the heart rate and what is the actual
rhythm-using just one lead such as Lead II. All the other leads are used for
mean electrical axis along with the size of the complexes which sometimes can
help to determine heart chamber enlargement, but usually not accurate. The best
way to determine heart enlargement in animals is with a chest X-ray or
echocardiogram."
Larry Tilley, DVM, DACVIM
"ECG's have been under-utilized in most veterinary
practices. With the advent of new hand-held ECG screeners and monitors,
and the simplification of interpreting results, ECG screening should become a
standard component of wellness exams and pre-anesthesia procedures, just as in
human medicine". The Business of Veterinary
Medicine, Steve May, Editor
"Cardiomyopathy can be diagnosed up to 2 years before
becoming clinically evident by finding VPC's on the Lead II ECG according to a
recent report". R.E. Whitford, DVM
"Every practice needs two ECG machines, an ECG screener in
the exam room and an ECG monitor in the surgical room. No other diagnostic
test can accurately determine the source of various arrhythmias and conduction
abnormalities as the ECG". Larry Tilley, DVM,
DACVIM
"I find an ECG abnormality or an audible murmur on
auscultation in about 1 out of 25 seemingly healthy cats." Gary D.

PC-Vet
can be used in the exam room to screen for heart
abnormalities that may cause problems before, during and after surgery. ECG screens add value to the initial and subsequent annual exam and often allow
the practitioner to find defects that support follow on care.
Dr. Larry Tilley, a cardiology consultant, states that no other diagnostic test,
including ultrasound, can accurately determine the source of various
arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities as is done with ECG testing. Lead II
is all that is needed in most cases; you can do away with complex lead
analysis, axis shifts and perfect positioning of the pet. "The majority of
veterinarians can interpret their own ECG by simply focusing on the heart rate
and the cardiac rhythm." For difficult cases, the ECG printout can be
emailed directly to cardiology-based services for quick and inexpensive
interpretations to determine the necessary course of action. The handy
contoured chest probe makes exam room ECGs a snap. By simply placing the
probe over the chest wall, the three built-in electrodes produce a quick, clean
signal. The fear of the animal patient getting tangled in wires and cables
is no longer an issue either.
For surgery monitoring, the
PC-Vet
, when used with an optional esophageal probe, becomes a large screen patient
monitor complete with heart rate and temperature alarms. The hand-held
PC-Vet can be placed on the surgery table or mounted on an IV pole or wall.
Bothersome monitoring wires and cables are no longer an issue in surgery.
The third application of the
PC-Vet
is in critical care telemetry. An optional cable for use with
disposable long term monitoring electrodes is recommended. The use of Bluetooth
technology substantially lowers the cost of remote telemetry monitoring
equipment and your telemetry monitor can be carried in your pocket to the
surgery suite and exam room. Up to 4 patients can be
monitored simultaneously on one computer.
REVIEWER PROGRAM
