Overtly healthy Doberman pinschers, having moderate to severe myocardial failure secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy, which experienced ventricular tachycardia, syncope or collapse, and sudden death were studied to determine the effect of antiarrhythmic medication on their clinical outcome. Antiarrhythmia drug therapy may have retarded sudden death in 13 treated dogs compared to the six dogs not administered antiarrhythmia drugs.
对表面健康但继发于扩张型心肌病而出现中度至重度心肌衰竭、经历室性心动过速、晕厥或虚脱以及猝死的杜宾犬进行研究，以确定抗心律失常药物对其临床结局的影响。与未给予抗心律失常药物的6只犬相比，抗心律失常药物治疗可能使13只接受治疗的犬的猝死延迟。
