Teaching goals
- Single, uniform, premature ventricular complexes (VPCs) do not usually cause hemodynamic compromise and are at a low risk for electrical instability. As long as the VPCs are infrequent, and the heart rate and blood pressure remain stable, no additional treatment is necessary
- Higher grade arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia warrant immediate medical intervention.
- Accelerated idioventricular Rhythm (AIVR) is commonly seen in patients in the 24 hours following a splenectomy or surgery for gastric dilatation and volvulus. Accelerated idioventricular rhythms are identified as abnormal, wide, and bizarre beats that do not come prematurely. It is important to differentiate AIVR from ventricular tachycardia, because AIVR does not typically cause hemodynamic compromise and won’t respond to anti-arrhythmic medications. If AIVR is identified the procedure does not need to be stopped.

Teaching goals
- The ECG is used to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias.
- Sinus rhythm originates in the right atrium.
- First-degree atrioventricular block is a form of atrioventricular block characterized by delayed conduction time between the atrium and ventricle.
- Second-degree AV block is a form of AV block characterized by incomplete AV node block. In second-degree AV blocks, a distinction is made between Mobitz blocks type I and II.
- Third-degree AV block is a form of AV block characterized by a complete failure of the conduction between the atrium and the ventricles of the heart.

- Unlike dogs, external otitis (OE) is much less frequent in cats, being a reason for consultation in only 2% of cases.
- The primary causes of otitis externa in cats differ to some extent from those in dogs, requiring an adapted and specific diagnostic approach.
- The purpose of this talk is therefore to summarize the various causes associated with the development of otitis externa in cats.
