Structured PICO

Population

1 4-month-old male Labrador Retriever with recurrent bouts of pulmonary edema associated with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and a concealed posteroseptal accessory pathway.

Intervention

Oral procainamide titrated to achieve blood concentrations of approximately 20 micrograms/dL.

Outcome

Elimination of orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia, prevention of heart failure, and normalization of Doppler indices of diastolic function.

High-dose oral procainamide successfully eliminated orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia and resolved secondary heart failure in a dog with a concealed posteroseptal accessory pathway.
