This report describes a dog with recurrent atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter associated with chronic gastritis. Although no underlying structural heart disease was apparent antemortem or on gross post-mortem examination, chronic atrial myocarditis was seen on histopathological examination. Atrial myocarditis is a recognised cause of atrial fibrillation in human beings with presumed lone fibrillation, and an association between supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and infectious agents has been made.
本报告描述了一只患有复发性心房颤动和心房扑动并伴有慢性胃炎的犬。尽管生前或大体尸检均未发现明显的潜在结构性心脏病，但组织病理学检查发现了慢性心房心肌炎。心房心肌炎是人类孤立性心房颤动公认的病因，并且已证实室上性快速性心律失常与感染因子之间存在关联。
