Recurrent supraventricular arrhythmias in a dog with atrial myocarditis and gastritis

C Tyszko et al. J Small Anim Pract. 2007 Jun.

Abstract

This report describes a dog with recurrent atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter associated with chronic gastritis. Although no underlying structural heart disease was apparent antemortem or on gross post-mortem examination, chronic atrial myocarditis was seen on histopathological examination. Atrial myocarditis is a recognised cause of atrial fibrillation in human beings with presumed lone fibrillation, and an association between supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and infectious agents has been made.
