Abstract

A 2.8-year-old intact female Beagle dog (weighing 11kg) was referred with the primary complaint of exercise intolerance with occasional syncope. Physical examination revealed irregularly irregular heart rhythm with persistent pulse deficits. The 12-lead surface ECG showed a third degree heart block. Permanent transvenous cardiac pacing with a bipolar implantable pacemaker was performed in the right ventricle. After pacemaker implantation, the dog did not show syncopal episode and is currently able to take a walk with an owner. No side effects associated with permanent pacemaker implantation has been observed to date.

2.8살 된 암컷 비글종 개 (체중 11kg)가 운동 불내성과 간헐적인 실신증상을 보여 내원하였다. 청진상 불규칙하게 불규칙한 심장박동과 지속적인 맥박결손이 청진되었다. 심전도상에 3도 방실차단 소견이 관찰되었다. 환자는 임상증상 개선을 위하여 경정맥을 통한 영구적인 박동조절기(pacemaker)를 장착하였다. 그 결과 환자는 더 이상 실신증상을 보이지 않았고 주인과 함께 산책을 나갈 수 있을 만큼 임상증상이 개선되었다. 현재까지 박동조절기 장착과 관련된 합병증 없이 잘 생존하고 있다.
