【 摘 要 】

References(13)Cited-By(2)A seven-year-old castrated male domestic shorthair cat was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and suspected mitral stenosis (MS) based on electrocardiography, thoracic radiographs and echocardiographic findings. Post-mortem examination of the heart revealed morphological features consistent with HCM. In addition, there was marked fibrous deposition on the surfaces of the chordae tendineae extending to both mitral valve leaflets, which caused total chordal fusion into pillars of fibrous tissue and fusion of the commissures. The present case indicates that acquired MS can occur in association with HCM in the cat.
