Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs in dogs in a number of settings, the most common of which is congestive heart failure. This paper reviews what is known about the pathology of AF in dogs, as well as its clinical relevance. We begin by discussing several experimental AF paradigms in dogs, the associated pathology, and its relevance to AF mechanisms. We then discuss clinical AF in dogs and its relationship to experimental pathology. Finally, we conclude by assessing the potential therapeutic relevance of understanding AF-related pathology in dogs, as well as its potential to have practical applications in the future.
