There are few prospective clinical trials to support a specific set of recommendations in cats, so what follows is my current approach to cats, which is a mixture of experience, mistakes, research, and the current literature.

      In general, all dogs and cats, with or without heart disease, have a breathing rate of between 15-30 breaths every minute. Lower rates are even possible and are no cause for concern as long as your pet is otherwise healthy. Breathing rates are much higher than this when dogs and cats are hot, stressed or active but that is OK.

HCM is typically recognized in young to middle-aged male cats, but any cat can be affected.

      ANESTHESIA FOR FELINE PATIENTS WITH HEART DISEASE Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common cardiac disease in cats. One study found prevalence to be ~16% (Paige C, et al. Prevalence of cardiomyopathy in apparently healthy cats. JVIM 2011;25:1010-1016). The presence or absence of a murmur is not a good predictor of heart disease in cats.

      Medical records of cats diagnosed with CHF at the UMVMC from January 1992 to October 2001 were reviewed. The diagnosis of CHF was based on acute onset respirato-ry distress; radiographs that showed pul-monary infiltrates consistent with cardiogenic edema (with or without pleural effusion); and confirmed cardiac disease

A new blood test called NTproBNP has been shown to be able to detect occult heart disease in cats that do not have any abnormal physical exam findings. Every cat with a heart murmur or abnormal NTproBNP should have a cardiac evaluation to check for heart disease.

      Cardiac disease is common in cats, and concurrent pleural effusion can worsen the prognosis. However, the definitive diagnosis of feline cardiac disease by echocardiography is limited in some areas. This study was designed to determine the indicators from fluid analysis obtained from pleural effusion to help diagnose cardiac disease in cats.

      Cardiomyopathies primarily affect adult cats and although all cats are susceptible, a genetic predisposition for the disease has been shown in Maine Coons, Ragdolls, and in some American shorthair cats.

However, in this group of cats an abnormal test (>100 pmol/L or SNAP abnormal) could be used to rule out heart disease with a high degree of accuracy.

      Cats in advanced disease are in congestive heart failure and treated with several drugs to keep the cat from dying. Diltiazem is used to relax the walls of the left ventricle so more blood can enter and so it can contract with more force. Propranolol is used to slow the heart rate when it is beating too fast.

In cats, this disease is more prevalent in Ragdolls, Maine Coon, oriental breeds (Himalayan, Burmese, Sphynx, Persians), Devon Rex, but it is also commonly diagnosed in Domestic Short Hair cats.
