A 2-year-old male neutered Siamese cat presenting with weakness and dyspnoea was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect and pulmonary hypertension, which resulted in right-to-left shunting (Eisenmenger's syndrome). The cat was treated with sildenafil (0.25-0.6 mg/kg) for 10 months. There were no apparent treatment-related adverse effects. Improvement in clinical signs was noted, although increasing doses of sildenafil were required. After 10 months the cat significantly deteriorated and was euthanased.
一只2岁已绝育的暹罗猫出现虚弱和呼吸困难症状,被诊断患有房间隔缺损和肺动脉高压,导致右向左分流(艾森曼格综合征)。该猫接受了10个月的西地那非治疗(0.25 - 0.6毫克/千克)。未发现明显的与治疗相关的不良反应。尽管需要增加西地那非剂量,但临床症状有改善。10个月后,猫的病情显著恶化,最终实施了安乐死。
