Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a myocardial disorder, with complications including heart failure, throm- boemboli and sudden death. Human and feline HCM (fHCM) are clinically comparable, thus fHCM may serve as a spontaneous animal model. fHCM in Maine Coon (MC) cats is associated with the p.A31P mutation in the cMyBP-C protein.

Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy What are the symptoms of HCM? Many cats with HCM have no symptoms and appear clinically healthy. These cats may have a heart murmur or abnormal heart , which prompts a cardiac evaluation; however, some cats with heart disease have a normal sounding heart. Cats with advanced disease may have clinical signs ...

ACVIM Fact Sheet: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Cats . Overview Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the most commonly encountered heart disease in cats. This disease is characterized by an abnormal thickening (hypertrophy) of one or several areas of the walls of the heart, usually of the left ventricle. Hypertrophic
Management of feline heart failure
results of a large-scale blinded study of feline diastolic heart failure suggested that furosemide remains the most impor-tant part of treatment.1 In this study, treatment with atenolol hastened the recurrence of congestive failure or death, whereas ACE inhibitors and diltiazem were neutral. Furosemide: (1-5 mg/kg q12-24h PO) oral furosemide is

Prevalence of HCM • 14.5-34% of clinically healthy cats found to have left ventricular hypertrophy due to HCM on echo • Presence of a heart murmur is not diagnostic of HCM • SN: 31% SP: 87% for diagnosing cardiomyopathy • Functional or due to other heart disease • A large proportion of affected cats do not have a murmur
Prognostic Indicators in Cats with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
HCM,7–10 little has been done to investigate other echocardiographic markers of prognosis. We hypothesized that although LA echocardio-graphic variables would provide prognostic informa-tion in cats with HCM, assessment of left ventricular diastolic and systolic function would provide additional prognostic value. The aim of this study was,

Treatment of Feline HCM Prior To The Onset Of Heart Failure Diltiazem My general clinical impression over years of use is that diltiazem is not an effective drug for feline HCM, either when a cat is in heart failure or prior to the onset of heart failure In humans, the calcium channel blocker
Understanding Feline Cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent feline cardiac disease. It is a primary disorder of the heart muscle characterized by thickening of the left ventricle. This thickening causes the heart to not be able to relax normally when filling with blood.
