A 6-year-old female cat developed pleural and abdominal effusion. Cardiac ultrasound and 2D color tissue Doppler imaging revealed restrictive cardiomyopathy with severe biatrial dilatation and hypertension. This cardiomyopathy was associated with atrial septal aneurysm and a patent foramen ovale. The atrial septal aneurysm involved the entire atrial septum. Necropsy and histological examination confirmed all these findings. ASA is a rare malformation and, as in this cat, it generally occurs concomitantly with congenital or acquired heart disease and may be explained by greater pressure in one atrium, leading to controlateral protrusion of the atrial septum.
一只6岁雌性猫出现胸腔和腹腔积液。心脏超声和二维彩色组织多普勒成像显示为限制性心肌病，伴有严重的双房扩张和高血压。这种心肌病与房间隔瘤和卵圆孔未闭有关。房间隔瘤累及整个房间隔。尸检和组织学检查证实了所有这些发现。房间隔瘤是一种罕见的畸形，就像这只猫一样，它通常与先天性或后天性心脏病同时发生，可能是由于一个心房压力较大，导致房间隔向对侧突出所致。
