Controls were dogs that presented during the same time period and were matched with cases based on their age, breed, and type of procedure; however, no standardization of treatment between the groups was performed.

Dogs with DCM exhibited a lower likelihood of being premedicated with dexmedetomidine or induced with propofol. Conversely, DCM dogs were more likely to be induced with etomidate or midazolam compared to their counterparts without DCM. Dogs with DCM demonstrated an increased likelihood of experiencing cardiac arrhythmias during anesthesia, received comparatively lower volumes of IV fluids, and were more likely to be administered dobutamine during anesthesia.
