Abstract	Sousa M.G., Carareto R., Silva J.G. & Oliveira J. 2013. Assessment of the electrocardiogram in dogs with visceral leishmaniasis. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 33(5):643647. Escola de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade Federal do Tocantins, Rodov. BR-153 Km 112, Araguaína, TO, 77800-970, Brazil, E-mail: marlos@uft.edu.br As myocarditis and arrhythmias have been shown to occur in both human beings and dogs with leishmaniasis, electrocardiograms of 105 dogs serologically positive for this disease were assessed for rhythm disturbances and changes in ECG waves. A few expressive alterations were seen, including sinus arrest, right bundle branch block, and atrial premature beats in 14.3%, 4.8%, and 4.8% of the studied subjects, respectively. Also, the analysis of ECG waves showed changes suggestive of left atrium and ventricle enlargements, and myocardial hypoxia in some animals. Although cardiac compromise has been previously reported in dogs with leishmaniasis, only a small subset of dogs showed any alteration in the electrocardiogram, which cannot support the occurrence of myocarditis in this investigation.
