Rhodesian Ridgeback Inherited Arrhythmia (RR IVA) is an inherited disease that results in an abnormality of the cardiac electrical system leading to the development
of abnormal heart beats (ventricular premature beats (VPCs).

of those same genes could also cause seizures if they were expressed in the brain and, if so, whether those genes would also place people with epilepsy at risk not only for having epilepsy but also an
abnormal heart beat and risk
of death,» said Noebels.

of heart muscle to correct an
abnormal beat — and is already dreaming
of new adventures with other snake - bots.

The specific arrhythmia with this disease is called ventricular premature complexes (VPC), these are early
abnormal heart beats originating from the
heart muscle instead
of the specialized conduction tissue in the
heart where normal
heart beats originate.
Valvular disease, Myocardial diseases, Cardiac arrhythmia's are
abnormal heart beats or
heart rhythms, Pericardial disease, Injuries to the
heart and infections
of the
heart (such as heartworm infection or parvovirus infection) can also cause acquired
heart disease.
Your veterinarian may also ask to perform an ultrasound
of the
heart called an echocardiogram, or an electrocardiogram (ECG), which will show the electrical conduction in the
heart to screen for any arrhythmiasA condition in which the
heart beats with an irregular or
abnormal rhythm..
If the vet hears anything
abnormal, he or she may then decide to take x-rays
of the chest and / or an electrocardiogram (a printout showing how the
heart beats) to further assess
heart and lung function.
An electrocardiogram (or EKG) recording can be used to examine the electrical currents in the
heart muscles, and may reveal any abnormalities in cardiac electrical conduction (which underlies the
heart's ability to contract /
beat), and can also help your veterinarian to determine the origin
of the
abnormal heart rhythms, if they are present.

of consumer wearables has confirmed devices like Apple Watch are sensitive enough to detect
abnormal heart rhythms with a 97 percent accuracy, a performance that
beats out add - on ECG accessory KardiaBand.
