Sinus arrhythmia is typically caused by respiratory effects (e.g., stress during a clinical examination). It is common in dogs, and is essentially fine if there are no clinical signs.

There are several possibilities to consider when this occurs.

1. Structural changes in the heart have not yet affected conduction. When the cardiac structure is abnormal to the extent that the heart must be “remodeled” to maintain basic function, it may be reflected in cardiac rhythm and conduction, and it is necessary to monitor the electrocardiogram to make sure that conduction and rhythm are normal.
2. If the animal is currently under treatment for heart disease, the treatment outcome may also be reflected in the control of heart rate and rhythm.
3. The associated abnormalities are not continuous and are not caught by the test. In case of doubt, a diagnostic or 24-hour ECG may be needed for observation.

For structural changes, it is recommended to use echocardiography as the gold standard for diagnosis. ECG can be used to evaluate the rhythm and conduction changes in the course of the disease. Such that the condition of the patient’s heart can be monitored comprehensively.

This kind of waveform variation is occasionally caused by packet loss during Bluetooth transmission, which may be due to the influence of environmental equipment and has nothing to do with pathology, nor does it affect analysis and interpretation. Generally speaking, if all other signals are clear, there is no need to worry too much. If the data cannot be interpreted, we would have informed you when we process the data.

Even for conventional clinical tests, multiple test reports are necessary to consolidate the diagnosis. CardioBird is positioned as the first line to help veterinarians make differential diagnoses effectively.
