Original publication title: Sick sinus syndrome in a bull terrier.
Plain-English summary
A bull terrier was found to have sick sinus syndrome, a heart condition that affects the heart's rhythm, even though he showed no symptoms at first. This condition can lead to irregular heartbeats and other issues, but in this case, there were no other significant heart problems detected. The dog was diagnosed after a thorough examination, and while the abstract does not specify treatment details, managing sick sinus syndrome often involves medication or monitoring.
