Variations in heart rate and rhythm of harbor seal pups during rehabilitation
Abstract Heart rate and rhythm is regulated by the autonomic nervous system, which matures during the first months of life. Little is known about heart rate and rhythm development and potential arrhythmias in seal pups during rehabilitation in seal centers. Using an iP hone ECG device, 1 min ECG s w...
