The research article studied how effective quinidine sulphate was in treating atrial fibrillation in Standardbred racehorses and if treatment affected their athletic ability, between 2008 and 2019. The treatment was successful in 73% of cases, and no change in athletic performance was observed post-treatment.
The study primarily sought to address two key research questions. The first was to evaluate the success rate of using quinidine sulphate to manage atrial fibrillation (AF) in Standardbred racehorses at a veterinary facility in Atlantic Canada. This was done by analyzing the medical records of AF equine patients from January 2008 and December 2019.
The second objective was to gauge the impact of this treatment on the racehorses’ athletic performance. To measure this, researchers looked at the horses’ racetrack earnings and top-3 finishes before and after their treatment with quinidine sulphate.
The research found that 73% of the horses responding to AF treatment were successfully treated with enteral quinidine sulphate out of all the horses analysed in the study. The study further identifies that:
Given the limited literature addressing the athletic capability of Standardbred racehorses following AF conversion, this study is incredibly useful. The analysis was specifically focused on the use of quinidine sulphate for treatment, marking it as a first in its field.
The key takeaway from the study is that quinidine sulphate treatment for AF does not seem to impact a horse’s future athletic performance, provided successful cardioversion is achieved. This information can prove useful for equine practitioners and horse owners, enabling informed decision-making concerning the medical management of atrial fibrillation in racehorses.
