Retrospective Study

Influence of Antiarrhythmia Therapy on Survival Times of 19 Clinically Healthy Doberman Pinschers With Dilated Cardiomyopathy That Experienced Syncope, Ventricular Tachycardia, and Sudden Death (1985–1998)

Clay A. Calvert, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM and John Brown, DVM, PhD

From the Department of Small Animal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, 501 DW Brooks Drive, Athens, Georgia 30602.

Overtly healthy Doberman pinschers, having moderate to severe myocardial failure secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy, which experienced ventricular tachycardia, syncope or collapse, and sudden death were studied to determine the effect of antiarrhythmic medication on their clinical outcome. Antiarrhythmia drug therapy may have retarded sudden death in 13 treated dogs compared to the six dogs not administered antiarrhythmia drugs.
