Supports Boxer family screening for arrhythmias; leaves open penetrance, modifiers, and genetic basis in canine ARVC.
Observational (n=82)
Absolute Event Rate: 1309% vs 7%
Meurs et al. (1999) conducted an observational in Familial ventricular arrhythmias (n=82). Familial ventricular arrhythmias (affected status) vs. Unaffected dogs was evaluated on Number of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) during a 24-hour period. Familial ventricular arrhythmias in Boxers is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, with affected dogs having a mean of 1,309 PVCs over 24 hours compared to 7 in unaffected dogs.
