Clinical and electrocardiographic presentations of transient trifascicular block in three cats
This report describes transient trifascicular block in three cats presented with lethargy and inappetence, and elevated cardiac troponin I concentrations.The electrocardiogram (ECG) of cat 1 showed a sinus rhythm with pronounced first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, right bundle branch block, and left anterior fascicular block. The ECG of cat 2 showed truncular left bundle branch block alternating with left anterior fascicular block coupled with prolonged PR intervals, second-degree heart block, and paroxysmal third-degree AV block. The ECG of cat 3 showed first-degree AV block with concomitant right bundle branch bloc...

Investigation of ventricular pre-excitation electrocardiographic pattern in two horses: clinical presentation and potential causes
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of Veterinary Cardiology, Volume 20, Issue 3Author(s): Judit Viu, Lara Armengou, Annelies Decloedt, Eduard Jose-CunillerasAbstractTwo horses referred to the Unitat Equina, Fundació Hospital Clínic Veterinari, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, for unrelated clinical problems, and with no previous history of cardiac disease exhibited an intermittent ventricular pre-excitation electrocardiographic pattern during hospitalization. Both animals showed decreased plasma total and ionized magnesium concentrations, but no other relevant electrolyte disturbances were detected. Altered in...

Transient myocardial thickening in a Bartonella henselae–positive cat
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of Veterinary Cardiology, Volume 20, Issue 3Author(s): J.L. Joseph, E.M. Oxford, R.A. SantilliAbstractA 3-year-old castrated male domestic shorthair presented to the Cornell University Hospital for Animals for acute onset respiratory distress. Thoracic radiographs, echocardiogram, and electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed left-sided congestive heart failure, myocardial thickening with left atrial dilation, and sinus rhythm conducted with a left bundle branch block, respectively. Cardiac troponin I was elevated and continued to increase over 36 h (1.9 ng/mL, 3.1 ng/mL, and 3.5 ng/mL...
