The clinical signs and symptoms, radiographic and echocardiographic findings, and the results of cardiac post-mortem and histopathological examination of a 1-year-old female European shorthair cat with a double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV), small ventricular septal defect, and double caudal vena cava are described. A review of the literature is given with respect to the symptoms, diagnostic techniques, and therapy of DCRV in the cat. DCRV is a rare congenital defect in which stenosis inside the right ventricle causes symptoms similar to those seen in pulmonary stenosis. A diagnosis can be made by echocardiography. Little is known about its natural history and prognosis. Medical treatment, balloon dilatation, and surgery have been used to treat this defect with variable outcome. A double caudal vena cava is not clinically relevant.
描述了一只1岁雌性欧洲短毛猫的临床体征和症状、影像学和超声心动图检查结果，以及心脏尸检和组织病理学检查结果，该猫患有双腔右心室（DCRV）、小型室间隔缺损和双尾腔静脉。针对猫DCRV的症状、诊断技术和治疗方法进行了文献综述。DCRV是一种罕见的先天性缺陷，右心室内的狭窄会导致与肺动脉狭窄相似的症状。可通过超声心动图进行诊断。对其自然病史和预后知之甚少。药物治疗、球囊扩张和手术已被用于治疗这种缺陷，效果不一。双尾腔静脉在临床上无相关性。
