Two tiger cubs (Panthera tigris) from the same litter were evaluated for suspected cardiac disease. Two cubs with a dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype were diagnosed with endocardial fibroelastosis based on necropsy and histopathologic examinations. Echocardiography revealed salient anatomic and functional aspects of this cardiac disorder. This is the first report of endocardial fibroelastosis in this species.
对同窝出生的两只虎崽（ Panthera tigris ）进行了疑似心脏病评估。两只表现为扩张型心肌病表型的虎崽经尸检和组织病理学检查被诊断为心内膜弹力纤维增生症。超声心动图显示了这种心脏疾病显著的解剖学和功能方面特征。这是该物种心内膜弹力纤维增生症的首例报告。
