Studying Electrophysiology of the Sinus Node in Dogs who Need Pacemakers
The sinus node is the major pacemaker of the heart. In dogs, disease of the sinus node can result in slow heart rates that requires pacemaker implantation. The goal of this study is to characterize the electrical properties of the sinus node in dogs with slow heart rates that require pacemakers.
Eligibility: Any dog seen at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals with a diagnosis of a slow heart rate that requires pacemaker implantation.
Cardiology
The cardiology program at Cornell University is nationally and internationally recognized as a leader in the treatment and investigation of heart disease in farm animals. We work to constantly improve our understanding of cardiac diseases through meaningful scientific research that advances clinical treatments and trains the next generation of veterinary cardiologists.
