title: Lone atrial fibrillation in a dog.
abstract: An intact male Pointer aged 9 year was found to have atrial fibrillation (AF). Thoracic radiography and echocardiography as well as routine blood work revealed no cardiac disease. Thus, the dog was diagnosed as lone AF. The arrhythmia disappeared 6 hr after the initiation of the supportive therapy, and relapse was not observed.
