[en] In view of the disadvantages of the traditional method of atrial defibrillation, three different methods of treatment (intravenous perfusion of quinidine sulphate, intravenous perfusion of dihydroquinidine gluconate and repeated oral administration of quinidine sulphate) moere tested in 6 horses (7 attacks) from the point of view of efficacy, quantity of drug required, duration and convenience of the treatment, and toxicity. The authors conclude that the intravenous perfusion of quinidine sulphate under continuous ECG monitoring seems to be the method of choke for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in the horse. [fr] Considérant les désavantages de la méthode traditionnelle de défibrillation auriculaire, trois différentes méthodes de traitement (perfusion intraveineuse de sulfate de quinidine, perfusion intraveineuse de chlorydrate de dihydroquinidine et administration orale répétée de sulfate de quinidine) ont été testées chez 6 chevaux (7 attaques) au point de vue efficacité, quantité de médicament requise, durée et commodité du traitement, et toxicité. Les auteurs concluent que la perfusion intraveineuse de sulfate de quinidine sous moinitoring ECG continu semble être la méthode de choix de traitement de la fibrillation auriculaire chez le cheval. [de] In Anbetracht der Nachteile der traditionellen Verfahren zur Vorhofdefibrillation wurden bel 6 Pferden (7 Anfâlle) folgende Behandlungsmethoden angewandt: IntravenSse Infusion von Chinidinsulfat, intraveni5se Infusion von Dihydrochiningluconat und wiederholte orale Verabreichung von Chinidinsulfat. Überprüfte Kriterien: Wirksamkeit, Dosierung, Dauer und Praktikabilitât der Behandlung sowie Toxizitât. Die Autoren betrachten die intravenèse Infusion von Chinidinsulfat unter dauernder EKG-Überwachung als Méthode der Wahl zur Behandlung des Vorhofflimmerns beim Pferd. [es] Considerando las desventajas de los métodos tradicionales para la desfibrilaciôn auricular, se emplearon en 6 caballos (7 ataques) los métodos terapéuticos siguientes: infusion intravenosa de sulfato de quinidina, infusion intravenosa de gluconato de dihidroquinina y la administraciôn oral repetida de sulfato de quinidina. Se comprobaron los criterios siguientes: efectividad, dosificaciôn, duraciôn y practicabilidad del tratamiento, amen de la toxicidad. Los autores consideran la infusion intravenosa de sulfato de quinidina bajo el control permanente como el método de elecciôn para el tratamiento de la fibrilaciôn auricular en el caballo.
