Abstract

A 4-year-old neutered female Pekingese dog (weighing 3.6 kg) 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 marked sinus arrest with occasional junctional escape beats, indicating a sick sinus syndrome. Permanent transvenous cardiac pacing with a rate-responsive bipolar implantable pacemaker (VVIR type) was performed in the right ventricle. After pacemaker implantation, the clinical signs were remarkably improved. No further syncopal episodes have yet been occurred after implantation.

간헐적인 기절과 운동 불내성의 주요증상을 호소하는 4살 령의 중성화된 암컷 페키니즈 개 (체중 3.6 kg)가 내원하였다. 신체검사상 지속적인 맥박 결손을 가진 아주 불규칙한 심박동(irregularly irregular heart rhythm)이 나타났다. 12 유도 표면 심전도에서는 동방결절 기능 부전군을 의미하는 간헐적인 방실 접합부 이탈박동과 함께 특이적인 동정지가 나타났다. 본 환자에 대한 심장 박동수 반응형의 양극성 심장 박동조절기(VVIR type)를 이용한 영구적 경정맥형 심박 조율시술은 우심실 내에서 실시되었다. 심장 박동기 장착 이후, 환자의 임상증상은 눈에 띠게 호전되었다. 시술이후 아직까지 기절의 증상은 더 이상 나타나지 않고 있다.
