This case report describes several electrocardiographic findings in an 8-years old female Pomeranian dog that was referred with a history of digoxin overdose. Electrocardiographic abnormalities detected in this case could be classified as primary electrocardiographic disturbances, reflecting cardiac chamber enlargement and secondary ECG changes, attributed to digoxin toxicity. ECG manifestatio...

Kawasaki disease is an acute inflammatory disorder of medium-sized arteries that predominantly affects cardiac coronary arteries and children under the age of 5 years. Cardiac involvement usually happens later than 10 days after the onset of illness. Most of cardiac complications are coronary artery abnormalities (ectasia or aneurysms) and subclinical myocarditis. Clinical myocarditis (symptoma...

Cardiac rhythm abnormality is a common finding in patients with leptospirosis. Relative bradycardia, atrial fibrillation, flutter and ventricular premature beats are the arrhythmias seen In present case, patient presented septic shock had fibrillation. Further evaluation revealed hypokalemic acute kidney injury severe metabolic acidosis. The fibrillation reverted to sinus after correction of hy...

Cardiac involvement is well recognised in most forms of the mucopolysaccharidoses but there is poor documentation of abnormalities specific to Morquio's syndrome (type IV mucopolysaccharidosis). Ten patients with the classic form or type A Morquio's syndrome with a median age of 12.5 years underwent echocardiographic assessment. Abnormalities were detected in six (60%) cases with mitral valve i...

The exact prevalence and nature of cardiac involvement in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is unknown. Nevertheless, the current opinion is that symptomatic cardiac disease is rare. We performed a cardiac screening [electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography in the event of ECG abnormalities] in 75 genetically confirmed, ambulant FSHD patients without cardiac symptoms, with an ei...

Cardiac dysfunction is often manifested as arrhythmia, with disruption of the normal periodicity and regularity of electromechanical activity. Cardiac arrhythmias, or abnormalities of cardiac rhythm, are associated with a diverse group of conditions, including congenital, metabolic, structural, physiological, and immunological, and infectious abnormalities. Dysarrhythmia may also be classified ...

Electrolyte abnormalities are among the most common reasons for patients to develop cardiac arrhythmias. Of all the electrolyte abnormalities, hyperkalemia is most rapidly fatal. A high degree of clinical suspicion and aggressive treatment of underlying electrolyte abnormalities can prevent many patients from progressing to cardiac arrest.
