Acute hypoadrenocorticism treatment linked to tachycardic atrial fibrillation at 40 hours in a Doberman Pinscher.
This case report highlights the presentation of tachycardic atrial fibrillation in a Doberman Pinscher following treatment for acute hypoadrenocorticism.
Tachycardic AF may occur during hypoadrenocorticism treatment; single case leaves open causality and relevance.
Figure 1-Initial ECG tracings (leads I, II, and III) in a 9-year-old spayed female Doberman Pinscher that was evaluated because of severe apathy, weakness, anorexia, and diarrhea of 4 days' duration.The ECG was performed 40 hours after initiation of treatment for acute hypoadrenocorticism.Notice the tachycardic atrial fibrillation.Paper speed 50 mm/s; 20 mm = 1 mV.

Riesen et al. (2006) studied this question. Initial ECG tracings in a 9-year-old Doberman Pinscher treated for acute hypoadrenocorticism demonstrated tachycardic atrial fibrillation 40 hours after treatment initiation.
