Boxer cardiomyopathy (also known as "Boxer arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy") is a disease of the myocardium primarily affecting Boxer dogs. It is characterized by the development of ventricular tachyarrhythmias, resulting in syncope and sudden cardiac death. Myocardial failure and congestive heart failure are uncommon ...
[2] [3] Nevertheless, CVP monitoring is a useful tool to guide hemodynamic therapy. The cardiopulmonary baroreflex responds to an increase in CVP by decreasing systemic vascular resistance while increasing heart rate and ventricular contractility in dogs. [4] Trend of central venous pressure as a consequence of variations in cardiac output.
Boxer dogs are predisposed to a unique cardiomyopathy with clinical and histological changes analogous to human arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). [31] The disease has been termed " Boxer cardiomyopathy " or "Boxer ARVC", and is characterized by development of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. [ 32 ]
Tetralogy of Fallot* is a congenital heart defect in dogs that includes four separate defects: pulmonic stenosis, a ventricular septal defect, right ventricular hypertrophy, and an overriding aorta. Keeshonds and Bulldogs are predisposed. Signs include cyanosis and exercise intolerance.
The HeartWare HVAD could be implanted through limited access without sternotomy, however in 2021 Medtronic discontinued the device. [47] [44] In a small number of cases left ventricular assist devices, combined with drug therapy, have enabled the heart to recover sufficiently for the device to be able to be removed (explanted).

Catheter ablation of most arrhythmias has a high success rate. Success rates for WPW syndrome have been as high as 95% [ 2 ] For Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), single procedure success is 91% to 96% (95% Confidence Interval) and multiple procedure success is 92% to 97% (95% Confidence Interval).

The benefits of physical therapy for animals have been widely accepted in the veterinary community for many years. [10] [11] [12] However, clinical practice of physical therapy for animals is a relatively new field in the U.S. In Europe, equine and canine physical therapy have been widely recommended and used for at least the last fifteen years ...
