Key result
Familial ventricular arrhythmias in Boxers are inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, with affected dogs exhibiting a mean of 1,309 PVCs per 24 hours compared to 7 in unaffected dogs.

Suggests screening Boxer relatives for arrhythmias; leaves open inheritance mode pending larger genetic studies.
Observational (n=82)
Absolute Event Rate: 1309% vs 7%
Meurs et al. (1999) conducted an observational in Familial ventricular arrhythmias (n=82). Familial lineage vs. Unaffected dogs was evaluated on Pattern of inheritance and number of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) over 24 hours. Familial ventricular arrhythmias in Boxers are inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, with affected dogs exhibiting a mean of 1,309 PVCs per 24 hours compared to 7 in unaffected dogs.
