Second-degree atrioventricular block (AV block) is a disease of the electrical conduction system of the heart.It is a conduction block between the atria and ventricles.The presence of second-degree AV block is diagnosed when one or more (but not all) of the atrial impulses fail to conduct to the ventricles due to impaired conduction.
Puppies and adult dogs diagnosed with subaortic stenosis can suffer from a range of clinical signs such as fainting, breathing difficulty in the moderate cases or heart failure and sudden death in severe cases. [2] Symptoms also include sudden/strong lethargicism, continuous heavy panting, and a rise in temperature.
By contrast, an AV block occurs in the AV node and delays ventricular depolarization. The term "Wenckebach block" is also used for some heart blocks, and can refer to a second degree type I block in either the SA node or the AV node, however the ECG features of the two are quite distinctly different.
One of the most common is a heart murmur, which many dogs develop at some point in their life, whether their humans know it or not. Some instances of heart murmur cause little to no symptoms ...
Patients with second-degree Mobitz II and third-degree heart block are much more likely to have symptomatic bradycardia and hemodynamic instability, such as hypotension. Additionally, there is an increased risk of patients with Mobitz II heart block developing third-degree heart block.
They’ll feel your dog’s knee and give the patella luxation a ‘grade’, which says how bad it is. Grade 1: Patella is mostly in place but can be forced out by a vet

It is a congenital heart disease in dogs. There usually are no signs in dogs except for a heart murmur. However, a large defect can result in heart failure or in pulmonary hypertension leading to a right-to-left shunt. [49] Atrial septal defect* is a hole in the division between the heart atria (upper chambers of the heart). It is an uncommon ...
