About Us...
We are an organization that is greatly appreciative of the generous donations provided by Medtronic. The net proceeds from the sale of generators and leads are directed to a specially designated ACVIM account and are used to fund science, educational, and charitable endeavors related to the field of veterinary cardiology. A Brief History of CanPacers Many cardiology diplomates have been instrumental in the development and maintenance of the program over the years. In 1991, the program officially became CanPacers (Companion ANimal PACEmaker Registry & RepoSitory) thanks to Dave Sisson and a generous donation of a large number of generators and leads from CPI (Cardiac Pacemakers Inc). Information obtained directly from CanPacers records resulted in a publication detailing outcomes of cardiac pacing in dogs: Oyama MA, Sisson DD, Lehmkuhl LB: Practices and outcomes of artificial cardiac pacing in 154 dogs at seven referral hospitals from 1991 to 1996.
