Abstract

A litter of five, 18-month-old, mixed-breed cats were determined to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although no overt clinical signs were present in any cat, systolic heart murmurs were present in each. Electrocardiograms were normal, while subjective interpretations of heart enlargement on radiographs were made on four cats. Echocardiographic analyses indicated abnormalities consistent with HCM. Overt clinical signs are absent two years following diagnosis.

摘要

一窝五只18个月大的混种猫被诊断患有肥厚性心肌病（HCM）。尽管没有一只猫出现明显的临床症状，但每只猫都有收缩期心脏杂音。心电图正常，而在四只猫的X光片上对心脏增大进行了主观判断。超声心动图分析显示存在与肥厚性心肌病相符的异常。诊断两年后未出现明显的临床症状。
