      cardiomyopathy (HOCM), the muscle thickening restricts the flow of blood out of the heart. Often, leakage of the mitral valve causes the blood in the lower chamber (left ventricle) to leak back into the upper chamber (left atrium). In less than 10% of patients, the disease may progress to a point where the heart muscle thins and the left ventricle dilates resulting in reduced heart function ...

      The disease is the result of thickening and narrowing of the arteries supplying the heart and surrounding structures with blood carrying oxygen and nutrients. The heart is supplied by two main coronary arteries which arise directly from the aorta immediately after it leaves the heart. The left coronary artery supplies the left side of the heart (the left atrium and the left ventricle). As the ...

      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. Over time this can lead to elevated pressures within the heart and ultimately congestive heart failure (fluid accumulation). Some cats with HCM will also have an ...
