[ECG similarities in the parents and offspring of thoroughbred horses]

The ECG characters were studied in two sires (Manrico and Infernal) and their 26-membered set of progeny as well as in one mare (Victoire) and her five daughters. The confer of some ECG characters from the sire's side as well as from the mare's side to the offspring was demonstrated. The consistency of some ECG characters was particularly obvious in externally dominant Manrico sire and his offspring as well as in the breeding mare and her five daughters (inclination of the electric cardiac axis, intrinsicoid deflexion lag, P wave shape, deep S in the 3rd connection).
