The clinical, electrocardiographic and diagnostic tests findings, and outcome of 9 dogs with accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) are described. Different systemic disorders including septicaemia of various origin, acute pancreatitis, lymphoblastic leukaemia, discospondilitis, and viper bite were diagnosed. One dog with seizures developed AIVR during anaesthesia to perform a CT scan. Elevated serum concentration of cTnI were found in all the five dogs in which this cardiac biomarker was determined. Conversion to sinus rhythm was obtained in all dogs following supportive therapy for the primary disorder. A specific antiarrhythmic drug (lidocaine) was employed in only 2 dogs.

Abstract

The clinical, electrocardiographic and diagnostic tests findings, and outcome of 9 dogs with accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) are described. Different systemic disorders including septicaemia of various origin, acute pancreatitis, lymphoblastic leukaemia, discospondilitis, and viper bite were diagnosed. One dog with seizures developed AIVR during anaesthesia to perform a CT scan. Elevated serum concentration of cTnI were found in all the five dogs in which this cardiac biomarker was determined. Conversion to sinus rhythm was obtained in all dogs following supportive therapy for the primary disorder. A specific antiarrhythmic drug (lidocaine) was employed in only 2 dogs.
