Caution against overinterpreting sporadic arrhythmias as abnormal in Beagles; leaves open breed-specific ambulatory ECG reference ranges for veterinary research.
What is the prevalence of arrhythmias detected by ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring in clinically normal Beagles?
Ambulatory ECG monitoring in clinically normal Beagles reveals a high prevalence of sporadic arrhythmias, indicating that these findings can be normal variants in this breed.
Ulloa et al. (1995) studied this question.
