Characterizes PAS presentation and pacing outcomes in dogs; leaves open validation of survival predictors in prospective studies.
What are the clinical characteristics, management outcomes, and predictors of survival in dogs with persistent atrial standstill?
In dogs with persistent atrial standstill, pacemaker implantation provides favorable long-term survival (median 1512 days) despite persistent cardiac remodeling.
