Persistent atrial standstill is a rare arrhythmia in both human and veterinary patients. In recent decades, cases of partial atrial standstill have been recognized in humans. We describe a case of presumptive partial atrial standstill in a Greyhound, in which there was disparate left and right atrial electromechanical function and rapid progression to congestive heart failure over the span of fourteen weeks. An atrial cardiomyopathy characterized by severe, diffuse, fibrofatty replacement of the atrial myocardium was identified histologically.
持续性心房静止在人类和兽医患者中都是一种罕见的心律失常。近几十年来，人类中已认识到部分性心房静止病例。我们描述了一例灵缇犬疑似部分性心房静止病例，该犬左右心房存在不同的机电功能，且在十四周内迅速发展为充血性心力衰竭。组织学检查发现一种以心房心肌严重、弥漫性纤维脂肪替代为特征的心房心肌病。
