Sažetak
Cardiac arrhythmias are common with structural heart disease such as myocardial or degenerative valvular diseases. They are particularly significant in cases with myocardial diseases such as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). DCM is an important cause of cardiac morbidity and mortality in dogs, and it is the most commonly acquired cardiac disorder in medium‐sized, large and giant‐breed dogs. It is commonly accompanied by ventricular arrhythmias or atrial fibrillation. The Doberman Pinscher is a particularly affected breed, and sudden cardiac death may occur during the pre‐clinical phase in 25 to 30% of affected dogs due to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. ARVC is most commonly identified in the Boxer, although it has been identified in other breeds of dogs. It is typically characterised by ventricular arrhythmias of right ventricular origin that may result in collapse or even death. This chapter describes the different aspects of arrhythmias found in canine cardiomyopathies with focus on diagnostic strategies and treatment.
