May Updates on Several Healed Heart Dogs

5/30/2019

 
​Brecon is now an adorable, active 2-year-old Welsh Springer Spaniel, who loves life
and his 7-month-old baby brother, Rowan. When he came to us in December 2017,
however, he had an incessant rapid heart rhythm arising from his left upper heart
chamber that was preventing him from being a happy, healthy puppy. Through the
diligent work of the ablation team, Brecon had a successful left atrial tachycardia
ablation 1.5 years ago and has a healthy heart!

Wonderful Gage is now an 8.5-year-old Deutsch Laanghaar, who had a successful
accessory pathway ablation 5 years ago. The accessory pathway is an extra electrical
connection that caused his heart rate to race at 375 bpm. Radiofrequency energy
was targeted to his accessory pathway, which eliminated this problem. Gage could
therefore go on to be the awesome sporting dog he was meant to be!

Milo just celebrated his 8th birthday! This handsome Labrador had an extra electrical connection in his heart, known as an accessory pathway. This accessory pathway would often cause Milo’s heart rate to be too high resulting in weakening of his heart muscle, resulting in congestive heart failure. We were able to successfully
ablate the problematic accessory pathway when Milo presented to us at the age of 4
years, giving him a new lease on life!

Sansa came all the way from Argentina because her heart would race and make her
breathe rapidly. She had poor heart muscle function. Her one month post-ablation
echocardiogram and Holter monitor were last week, and the results were excellent!
Sansa had return of her heart muscle function to normal now that her accessory
pathway was ablated.

    We are all owners of pets with tachycardia's/heart rates that were much too fast. Dr. Wright and her team saved our dogs with their minimally invasive ablation surgery.
