Background: Cardiomyopathy distinguishes a heterogeneous group of myocardial disorders that represent the most prevalent cause of feline heart disease. Etiology is uncertain and the natural history is presently unresolved. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common of these conditions, and while the ...
Congestive heart failure occurs when a diseased heart can no longer function adequately to meet the daily demands. As a result, fluid may build up in the chest cavity around the lungs and the heart making it difficult for the cat to breathe. Called pleural effusion, the fluid prevents the ...

These conditions can be either chronic or acute, and commonly stem from allergies, growths (either benign or cancerous), parasites, abscesses, adverse reactions to inhaled fungi, and the malfunction of other vital organs (such as congestive heart failure). ...
heart weight is increased, and there is dilation of the right ventricle followed by dilation of theleft ventricle. The cause of death appears to be congestive heart failure (Smallet al.,1979;Baricet al.,1990;Edwardset al.,1992;Alexanderet al.,1992,1993). In fatal cases, there ...
