Infrequent VPCs on 24-hour AECG appear typical in healthy dogs; leaves open thresholds signaling pathology in veterinary practice.
Does 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography detect ventricular premature complexes in healthy dogs?
Healthy mature dogs have infrequent ventricular premature complexes on 24-hour AECG, suggesting that numerous or sequential VPCs may indicate underlying disease.
Meurs et al. (2001) studied this question.
