초록

A 10-year-old spayed female Cocker spaniel weighing 6.64 kg was presented with a sign of syncope. Electrocardiographic findings revealed pathologic atrioventricular (AV) block alternating 3rd degree AV block, non-responsive to atropine. Before pacemaker implantation, several anti-hypertensive medications were administered, but there was no improvement. After pacemaker implantation, the heart rate and systemic arterial systolic blood pressure were immediately improved. This is the first report on the resolution of an AV block and malignant systemic hypertension after a pacemaker implant in veterinary medicine.
