Electrocardiographic abnormalities are frequently detected in healthy adult Borzoi with a normal echocardiogram.
Objective: Borzoi reportedly experience sudden death. The objective of this study was to report ECG intervals, amplitudes, and frequency of ECG abnormalities in clinically healthy Borzoi.
Methods: 98 clinically healthy Borzoi were prospectively recruited and underwent echocardiogram, ECG, and cardiac troponin I testing between October 2020 and December 2022. Standard ECG measurements were obtained. Early repolarization notches and slurs were recorded.
Results: Of 82 Borzoi with a structurally normal echocardiogram, ventricular arrhythmias were documented in 8 (10%) dogs, all of which had normal cardiac troponin I concentrations. Median P wave duration was 55 milliseconds (range, 45 to 70 milliseconds). Median PR interval was 125 milliseconds (range, 80 to 175 milliseconds). Thirty-one (38%) Borzoi had first-degree atrioventricular block (PR interval > 130 milliseconds). Median QRS duration was 65 milliseconds (range, 48 to 90 milliseconds). Median QT interval was 235 milliseconds (range, 185 to 275 milliseconds). Twenty-nine (35%) and 15 (18%) of 82 Borzoi had QT intervals > 240 or > 250 milliseconds, respectively. Sixty-seven of 82 (82%) Borzoi had early repolarization notches or slurs. Seventeen of 82 (21%) Borzoi had an abnormality of the ST segment, most commonly convexity/doming. Convexity of the ST segment was intermittent (n = 9) or persistent (4).
Conclusions: Ventricular arrhythmias, early repolarization, prolonged QT intervals, and ST segment abnormalities are not infrequent in clinically healthy Borzoi. P, PR, and QRS durations are commonly prolonged compared to general canine reference intervals.
Clinical relevance: Future study into heritable channelopathies in Borzoi is warranted given the frequency of ventricular arrhythmias, repolarization abnormalities, and sudden death in the breed. Breed-specific ECG reference intervals are needed.
