The antimicrobial activity of compounds from the leaf and stem of Vitis amurensis against two oral pathogens. *Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters*, Vol.20, A new electrocardiogram (ECG) was started in 1961 when J. Norman Holter introduced a system to record the ECG of a patient during their activities for long periods of time. This method was identified as a method of continuous electrocardiography (CE), long-term electrocardiogram, dynamic electrocardiography, ambulatory electrocardiographic, or simply Holter. In subsequent years, the development of technology has introduced a great number of advances and improvements in the fidelity of the recording, size and weight of equipment, systems acquisition and data analysis. The intermittent recording capacity triggered by the owner or by the occurrence of arrhythmia, has become available. Systems to record and reproduce the CE continue to evolve and improvements in the capacity of analysis and editing of commercial systems have frequently been introduced.

The entry of the CE in veterinary medicine contributes to a better understanding of cardiac arrhythmias, to study the cardiac response to drugs and to diagnose heart disease. But before you do the examination, the classic electrocardiographic (ECG) should be performed, because this modality is able to observe the cardiac depolarization for more angles (leads) that the CE.
