Smartphones present multiple applications for ambulatory practice. One of the newer technologies is smartphone-based electrocardiography (ECG). While this technology has been explored in horses and cattle, it has not yet been evaluated for goats. Fifteen goats of dairy and meat breeds were simultaneously tested with both a standard and smartphone-based ECG from two different anatomic locations (base apex and sternal positions). ECGs were compared for quality score, heart rate, and ECG intervals. Smartphone-based ECGs were feasible to collect in all goats under field settings. Scoring indicated higher quality scores for the standard ECG when compared to the smartphone-based ECG, and differences in smartphone ECG quality scores were noted between goats of different body types. Heart rate agreement was noted between measurements taken from smartphone-based and standard devices. ECG intervals calculated for smartphone-based ECGs were clinically similar to standard ECG. While not of the same diagnostic quality as standard ECG recordings, smartphone-based ECGs for goats present an easy to collect recording for caprine practice.
智能手机在门诊实践中有多种应用。较新的技术之一是基于智能手机的心电图（ECG）。虽然这项技术已在马和牛身上进行了探索，但尚未在山羊身上进行评估。对15只奶用和肉用品种的山羊，同时从两个不同解剖位置（心尖基部和胸骨位置）使用标准心电图和基于智能手机的心电图进行测试。比较了心电图的质量评分、心率和心电图间期。在野外环境下，基于智能手机的心电图在所有山羊中都可行采集。评分显示，与基于智能手机的心电图相比，标准心电图的质量评分更高，并且不同体型的山羊之间基于智能手机的心电图质量评分存在差异。基于智能手机的设备和标准设备测量的心率一致。基于智能手机的心电图计算出的心电图间期在临床上与标准心电图相似。虽然基于智能手机的山羊心电图的诊断质量不如标准心电图记录，但它为山羊实践提供了一种易于采集的记录方式。
