Low specificity requires manual review in dogs; leaves open whether refined algorithms can enable reliable veterinary arrhythmia detection.
Does a programmable cardiac event recorder provide accurate and specific arrhythmia detection in healthy dogs?
While the evaluated ECG event recorder is well-tolerated in dogs, its low specificity for clinically significant arrhythmias necessitates time-consuming manual review of traces.
Eastwood et al. (2003) studied this question.
