17
Q

Predisposition of HCM

A

cats
male
mainecoon
ragdoll

18
Q

Pathogenesis of HCM

A

concentric hypertrophy -> necrosis - > fibrosis -> increased diastolic pressure -> LA enlargement -> stagnation

19
Q

Clinical Signs of HCM

A

tiredness
exercise intolerance
collapse
tachycardia
cyanosis
asphyxia

20
Q

ausculation of HCM

A

systolic murmur
gallop sounds
arrhythmia with pulse deficit

21
Q

what is seen in echo in case of HCM

A

LV wall thickened
LV septum thickened
pap muscle hypertrophy
decreased LV end systolic diameter
dilated LA, narrowed LV

22
Q

treatment of HCM

A

furosemide
o2
ace inhibitor

23
Q

cause of RCM

A

unknown
potential diastolic dynsfunction
mainly in cats

24
Q

clinical signs of RCM

A

same as HCM
LV is normal
LA is enlarged

25
Q

pathogenesis of RCM

A

stiff LV due to increased collagen -> increased diastolic pressure -> increased LA -> LS CHF -> thrombus

26
Q

what is the main difference between RCM and HCM

A

collagen

27
Q

what does ARVC stand for

A

arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

28
Q

definition of ARVC

A

fatty infiltration of RV

29
Q

predisposition of ARVC

A

boxer

30
Q

pathogenesis of ARVC

A

no sustained VT -> no cerebral perfussion for over 6 seconds causing syncope

31
Q

clinical signs of ARVC

A

LS CHF
sudden death

32
Q

what is seen on an ecg in case of ARVC

A

ventricular premature complexes
ventricular extrasystole
>100-300 VPC on a holter monitor

33
Q

treatment of ARVC

A

sotalol, mexiletine, atenolol
antiarrhythmic treatment

34
