SESSION SYNOPSIS:

This presentation provides an exploration of the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias in dogs and cats. We'll examine the classification of arrhythmias, including bradyarrhythmias, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, with a focus on their clinical significance and potential complications. We'll then delve into electrocardiography (ECG) interpretation in identifying arrhythmic patterns and guiding further evaluation. Treatment strategies focusing on emergency antiarrhythmic medications will be discussed alongside considerations for managing underlying cardiac conditions and addressing emergent situations.
