An electrocardiogram â abbreviated as EKG or ECG â is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat. With each beat, an electrical impulse (or âwaveâ) travels through the heart. This wave causes the muscle to squeeze and pump blood from the heart. A normal heartbeat on ECG will show the timing of the top and lower chambers. The right and left atria or upper chambers make the first wave called a âP wave â following a flat line when the electrical impulse goes to the bottom chambers.
With the thick hair, they may appear sluggish at first glance but the Afghan Houndsâ speed, agility, and endurance is legendary. They are fierce hunters with strong jaws and they have relentless attitudes in hunting. As sight hounds, they are alert and always ready to act.
The Afghan appears dignified and aloof, with an exotic expression and proud carriage. This dog's gait shows great elasticity and spring; the Afghan moves with its head and tail high. Despite its glamorous reputation, the Afghan hound is a hunter at heart, bred to chase down game over rugged terrain. While it maintains its regal bearings inside, it needs a daily chance to stretch its legs in a safe area.
