Permanent transvenous pacemaker implantation in an Ibizan hound cross with persistent atrial standstill.
An Ibizan hound cross was referred with a 1-year history of syncope and exercise intolerance. An electrocardiogram showed bradycardia and no P waves; atrial standstill was diagnosed. A permanent artificial endocardial pacemaker was implanted. The lead dislodged and was reimplanted into the right ventricular apex. Capture was once again achieved.
