Boxer cardiomyopathy is an adult-onset disease with three distinct clinical presentations: The concealed form is characterized by an asymptomatic dog with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).

[2] Symptoms also include sudden/strong lethargicism, continuous heavy panting, and a rise in temperature.
Bigeminy is a cardiac arrhythmia in which there is a single ectopic beat, or irregular heartbeat, following each regular heartbeat. Most often this is due to ectopic beats occurring so frequently that there is one after each sinus beat, or normal heartbeat. The two beats are figuratively similar to two twins (hence bi-+ gemini).
Arrhythmias, also known as cardiac arrhythmias, are irregularities in the heartbeat, including when it is too fast or too slow. [2] A resting heart rate that is too fast – above 100 beats per minute in adults – is called tachycardia, and a resting heart rate that is too slow – below 60 beats per minute – is called bradycardia.

[3] Tachycardia is a high heart rate, defined as above 100 bpm at rest. [4] Bradycardia is a low heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest. When a human sleeps, a heartbeat ...
