Asymptomatic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Diagnosis and Therapy.
Veterinary Clinics of North America. Small Animal Practice 2017 September
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) affects 15% of cats, and prevalence increases with age. Although many cats with HCM have normal life expectancy, some cats die suddenly, or develop congestive heart failure or arterial thromboembolism (ATE). High-risk cats can be recognized by left atrial enlargement on echocardiography, which can be missed on physical examination, as a heart murmur is often absent. Alternatively, plasma biomarkers can be measured as an initial screening test; echocardiography is indicated in cats with plasma NT-probrain natriuretic peptide concentrations exceeding 100 pmol/L. High-risk cats should be treated with clopidogrel to reduce the risk of ATE.
