Ventricular arrhythmias in Boxers appear to be a familial trait. This study suggests that this heart condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in some Boxer dogs.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Cardiology
  • Canine Genetics

Background:

  • Ventricular arrhythmias are a concern in Boxer dogs.
  • Understanding the genetic basis of this condition is crucial for breeding and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if ventricular arrhythmias in Boxers are a familial trait.
  • To determine the mode of inheritance for this cardiac disorder in Boxers.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluated 82 Boxers using physical exams, ECG, echocardiograms, and 24-hour Holter monitoring.
  • Defined affected dogs as those with ≥50 premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in 24 hours.
  • Analyzed pedigrees from 6 extended families to identify inheritance patterns.

Main Results:

  • Affected Boxers had 112–4,894 PVCs (mean 1,309) in 24 hours.

  • Unaffected dogs had 0–16 PVCs (mean 7) in 24 hours.
  • Pedigree analysis indicated an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.

    • Conclusions:

    • Familial ventricular arrhythmias in Boxers are likely inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
    • This finding has implications for genetic counseling and breeding programs for Boxers.
