A 1 yr old male Estrela mountain dog was evaluated as a part of a screening program for dilated cardiomyopathy. The dog came from a family with a history of dilated cardiomyopathy but was asymptomatic. Occult dilated cardiomyopathy and sino-atrial dysfunction were diagnosed based on echocardiography and electrocardiography. These two disorders may be associated given that related dogs have been diagnosed with the same disorders. The dog has remained asymptomatic for 4 years following initial evaluation.
一只1岁的雄性埃斯特雷拉山地犬作为扩张型心肌病筛查项目的一部分接受了评估。这只狗来自一个有扩张型心肌病病史的家族，但没有症状。根据超声心动图和心电图诊断为隐匿性扩张型心肌病和窦房功能障碍。鉴于相关犬只曾被诊断出患有相同疾病，这两种疾病可能有关联。在初次评估后的4年里，这只狗一直没有症状。
