Cardiac arrhythmias in horses: When should we be concerned?

Led by Sian Durward-Akhurst, BVMS, MS, PhD

Horses are tremendous athletes and a healthy heart is essential to their athletic performance. Despite their athletic ability, arrhythmias are surprisingly common in horses and some can have devastating consequences. Dr. Durward-Akhurst talks about the types of equine arrhythmias, how they can be diagnosed, when to be concerned, and our ongoing work focusing on improving understanding of arrhythmias in racehorses.
