Abstract

We retrospectively evaluated 977 dogs immobilized with intravenous medetomidine injection for examination or treatment at the Gifu University Veterinary Medical Center to clarify the incidence of ventricular premature contraction (VPC). Of these, 43 (4.4％) had VPC confirmed by electrocardiography. Using age, body weight, gender, breed, and presence of heart murmur as outcome measures, we performed multivariate statistical analyses to identify the risk factors for VPC during immobilization. Our multivariate analysis showed that two breeds, Labrador Retriever and Golden Retriever, had significant risk factors for VPC.
