testing on your heart (an echocardiogram) and heart rhythm testing (electrocardiogram). The characteristic thickening of the heart walls is usually visible on the echocardiogram.

visualization of the inside of the heart in real time, so that heart chambers and walls can be measured. Left ventricular heart walls that are thicker than 6mm are indicative of HCM; however, high blood pressure and high thyroid concentrations should be eliminated as other possible causes of thickening of the heart walls. Therefore, blood

thickening of the septum (wall separating the pumping chambers), posterior wall or both. With hypertrophic obstructive 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).

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 cardiomyopathy is also present in humans and is caused by a variety of genetic anomalies

overproduction of thyroid hormone. Excess thyroid hormone stimulates the heart resulting in mild thickening of the left ventricular walls. However, in this disease the force of heart contractions is usually greater than normal and these cats often have high blood pressure. Thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy resolves when hyperthyroidism is treated;
