Abstract
El proyecto de investigación se ha centrado en la evaluación de señales electrocardiográficas en cinco razas caninas mediante el uso de un prototipo desarrollado con Arduino Uno. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar y comparar las características cardíacas de diferentes razas de perros utilizando técnicas de procesamiento de señales. En la revisión del estado del arte, se examinaron antecedentes relacionados con la adquisición de señales electrocardiográficas en animales, resaltando la importancia de dichas mediciones para el diagnóstico y monitoreo de enfermedades cardíacas. Además, se identificaron limitaciones en los dispositivos comerciales empleados en la evaluación cardíaca canina, lo que impulsó el desarrollo de un prototipo propio basado en Arduino Uno. La metodología implementada comprendió la definición de requerimientos técnicos, la selección y configuración de componentes, la programación del prototipo, la captura y procesamiento de señales electrocardiográficas, la comparación de resultados
entre razas y el análisis estadístico de los datos obtenidos. Los resultados abarcan el diseño esquemático del prototipo, la programación para el registro de señales, la parametrización para el análisis cardíaco, el procedimiento de captura de señales y la comparación entre las razas evaluadas. Se lograron visualizaciones comparativas y se llevó a cabo un análisis estadístico mediante el software Minitab. Las conclusiones indican que el prototipo desarrollado con Arduino Uno ha sido capaz de adquirir y procesar señales electrocardiográficas en perros de diversas razas. Se observaron diferencias significativas en las características cardíacas entre las razas evaluadas, sugiriendo la influencia de factores genéticos en la fisiología cardíaca canina
The research project focused on the evaluation of electrocardiographic signals in five dog breeds using a prototype developed with Arduino Uno. The primary objective of this research was to analyze and compare the cardiac characteristics of different dog breeds using signal processing techniques. In the review of the state of the art, antecedents related to the acquisition of electrocardiographic signals in animals were examined, highlighting the importance of such measurements for the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac diseases. In addition, limitations in commercial devices used in canine cardiac evaluation were identified, which prompted the development of a proprietary prototype based on Arduino Uno. The methodology implemented comprised the definition of technical requirements, component selection and configuration, prototype programming, capture and processing of electrocardiographic signals, comparison of results between breeds, and statistical analysis of the data obtained. The results cover the schematic design of the prototype, the programming for signal recording, the parameterization for cardiac analysis, the signal capture procedure and the comparison between the races evaluated. Comparative visualizations were achieved, and statistical analysis was performed using Minitab software. The conclusions indicate that the prototype developed with Arduino Uno was able to acquire and process electrocardiographic signals in dogs of various breeds. Significant differences in cardiac characteristics were observed among the evaluated breeds, suggesting the influence of genetic factors on canine cardiac physiology.
