Abstract
A 9-month-old neutered male German Shepherd dog was referred with the primary complaint of episodic collapse. Apparent abnormal findings were not observed in physical examination, routine biochemistry, and diagnostic imaging studies. In the 12-lead surface ECG after collapse, the dog showed frequent ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) with torsade de pointes. The frequency of VPCs was reduced after lidocaine infusion. Based on the history, findings in event recordings oi the ECG and lidocaine response test, the dog was diagnosed as inherited malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Although the dog was initially responded to oral sotalol therapy, the dog was died suddenly. This report described the first case of malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmia of German Sheperd in Korea.
