===Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (Ventricular Preexcitation Syndrome===
 
 
 
*This syndrome occurs when the conduction travels from the SA node and then completely bypasses the AV
 
node and travels to the bundle of His or the ventricles.
 
 
 
 
 
====Causes====
 
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (cats); congenital heart disorders
 
 
 
 
 
'''ECG Appearance:''' Short PR interval; Prolonged QRS complex; Notch in the R wave
 
 
 
 
 
====Treatment====
 
Treatment for tachycardia if necessary: digoxin, quinidine etc.
 
 
 
===Sick Sinus Syndrome===
 
 
 
*This is a blanket term used to describe multiple abnormalities of the SA node involving impulse formation and conduction disturbances.
 
 
 
 
 
====Causes====
 
Myocardial diseases, idiopathic, breed predispositions (e.g. miniature schnauzer)
 
 
 
 
 
'''ECG:''' Variable depending on the specific SA abnormality
 
 
 
 
 
====Treatment====
 
Surgical implantation of a pacemaker; +/- antiarrhythmic treatments[[Category:Altered_Impulse_Formations]]
