Abstract
Heart rate measurement in mice.
Place the animal in mild anesthesia with isofluorane at 1.5% and 1l/min O2.
Prepare the PhysioSuite apparatus(Kent Scientific). Put the clip sensor in the right hind paw. Let it stabilize for 30 seconds before starting the recording.
When a stable heart rate is observed, perform 10 measurements.
Calculate the mean of the 10 measurements and represent the heart rate as average beats/minute.
represented as average beats/minute.
