Abstract
Abstract
Background: Third-degree atrioventricular block is usually permanent, with transient cases being rare. Cats with transient third-degree atrioventricular block. It had been not reported in detail.
Case Description: A 9.3-year-old, male shorthair cat was being evaluated for possible nervous disease resulting from otitis interna. Under propofol and isoflurane anaesthesia, this cat developed third-degree atrioventricular block. Isoproterenol was administered by continuous infusion to increase its heart rate. During recovery, heart rate returned to sinus bradycardia together with first-degree atrioventricular block without medical treatment. The cause of transient atrioventricular block was not observed at examination.
Conclusion: The case of this cat suggests that anaesthesia can result in transient third-degree atrioventricular block.

Key words: Transient Third-Degree Atrioventricular Block, Anaesthesia, Cat
