No, the unique Ca++ sensitization enhancement effect of VETMEDIN helps to avoid the development of arrhythmias seen with other positive inotropes.4 In a field study of 355 dogs with CHF due to AVVI or DCM, only 39.4% of dogs treated with VETMEDIN developed new arrhythmias vs. 45% of dogs in the active control group.2 Please see references on the References page link below.
