Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in Boxer dogs: the diagnosis as a link to the human disease.

Conclusion: We suggest the diagnosis of ARVC in Boxer dogs requires two out of the three following criteria: presence of ≥ 100 VPCs, presence of couplets or R-on-T-phenomenon on a 24 h-ECG. This results in a uniform phenotype similar to that described in human ACM and may result in the adoption of the term ACM for this analogous condition in Boxer dogs.
