The sinoatrial node (SAN) is the primary pacemaker in canine and human hearts. The SAN
in both species has a unique three-dimensional heterogeneous structure characterized by …

Pacemaker implantation is considered as a standard procedure for treatment of symptomatic
bradycardia in both dogs and cats. Advanced second-degree and third-degree …

Breed Predispositions to Disease in Dogs and Cats, Third Edition provides a comprehensive
exploration of current knowledge of breed predispositions based on rigorous examination of …

The electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of cardiac muscle from the body
surface. It provides information on heart rate (HR), rhythm, and intracardiac conduction. ECG …

Ethnopharmacological relevance β-tubulin is a skeletal protein of sinoatrial node cells
(SANCs) that maintains the physiological structure of SANCs and inhibits calcium overload …

Objective Mitral valve (MV) regurgitation due to degenerative MV disease is the leading
cause of cardiac death in dogs. We carried out preliminary experiments to determine the …

Materials and Methods: This study describes the morphometry of cardiac nodes in five dogs
and five elderly horses that succumbed to sudden cardiac death (SCD). A computerized …

Objectives To investigate the clinical and echocardiographic presentation of dogs with
persistent atrial standstill (PAS), identify variables measured at first presentation that could …

The cardiac conduction system is a network structure that allows the initiation and fast
propagation of electrical impulses that trigger the electrical depolarization of the myocardial …

Introduction To determine whether use of a surgical safety checklist (SSC) would reduce the
rate of major complications after permanent transvenous pacemaker implantation in dogs …
