robinw Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I was just looking through Treasure's (my new greyhound) Patient Discharge Summary from Ohio State. It was included with her adoption paperwork. Everything looks fine but are a few things I don't understand... 1. Small erythematous area of alopecia ventromedial to the right eye. 2. Normal heart with sinus arrhythmia What does this mean??? thanks Quote Xavi the galgo and Peter the cat.

LuvAPuppy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 alopecia is balding, ventromedial should be on the bridge of her nose side, erythematous is red. sinus in reference to the heart refers to the sinoatrial node that paces the heart rate. sinus arrhythmia is an increase in heart rate that occurs with breathing in. it's considered perfectly normal Quote Angie, Pewter, and Storm-puppy Forever missing Misty-Mousie (9/9/99 - 10/5/15)Fort Wayne, Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
