Key result
Invasive EPS reveals retrograde conduction in ~59% of canine models.
Why the study?
Invasive electrophysiology study is important for arrhythmia evaluation in human medicine but is neither well known nor widely used in veterinary medicine.
Population
22 adult dogs including 16 admitted dogs of various breeds and 6 control Beagles
Comparison
Baseline vs repeated EPS in control Beagles
Design
Observational study
Follow-up
6 months for control Beagles

Establishes preliminary canine EPS reference values; leaves open whether these parameters guide clinical arrhythmia management.
Observational (n=22)
The study establishes baseline values for intracardiac conduction parameters in dogs using invasive EPS, aiding in the detection of electrical conduction abnormalities in veterinary cardiology.
Cepiel et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Intracardiac conduction parameters (n=22). Invasive electrophysiology study (EPS) was evaluated on Retrograde conduction. Invasive electrophysiology study in 22 dogs identified retrograde conduction in 59% of animals, with mean AV and retrograde VA Wenckebach points of 220 and 360 ms, respectively.
