Abstract

To highlight similarities in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that are shared between humans and domestic cats. Contemporary clinical and scientific findings were selected from the literature. Evidence is provided to support the concept that HCM in humans and felines are fundamentally the same disease. A number of remarkable similarities have been reported in certain spontaneously occurring myocardial disorders in domestic animals that closely resemble the clinical and phenotypic features of their corresponding diseases in humans. Chief among these conditions are hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in the cat as well as arrhythmic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in cats and Boxer dogs, and non-hypertrophied restrictive cardiomyopathy in cats. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy occurs commonly in the cat where it is a prominent cause of congestive heart failure and cardiovascular disability. Its prevalence in certain breeds suggests that it is a familial condition. Despite some inter-species differences in the expression of HCM in man and cats, their phenotypic expressions are very similar, supporting the belief that they are essentially the same disease in both species. These similarities include marked disease heterogeneity with unex...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of the right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. Discover the latest research on arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia here.
