HCM - systolic or diastolic dysfunction?
Diastolic dysfunction
DCM- systolic or diastolic dysfunction?
LV systolic dysfunction w eccentric hypertrophy (dilation)
S3 heart sound
Ventricular filling
S1 heart sound
Closure of AV (mitral and tricuspid) valves
S2 heart sound
closure of semilunar (aortic and pulmonary) valves
If you hear a 3rd heart sound (gallop) on a cat, what would you think of it
3-19% cats with subclinal HCM. not usually present in healthy cats
Heart sound with HCM
S4 gallop
What cats are at highest risk of HCM
Male, older, loud systolic murmur
Most are nonpedigree, but Maine Coon, Ragdoll, British shorthair, Persian, bengal, sphinx, Norwegian forest cat, Birman breeds predisposed
What gene mution has been associated with HCM?
Myosin binding protein C gene (MyBPC3)
Maine coon - 35-42% prevalence (MyBPC3-A31P)
What gene mutation has been described in Ragdolls with HCM
MyBPC3-R820W mutation
What can be seen in rads of a cat with HCM
Severe cardiomegasly
Left auricular bulge over DV/VD
T/F: valentine heart shape is specific to HCM
FALSE
What adverse effects can we see w spironolactone in cats
Ulcerative dermatitis
CO = ?
SV (preload, after load, contractility) x HR
What receptors and where have a permissive effect of SNS activation under RAAS in CHF?
Beta receptors in macula densa
increase SNS –> renin release –> increase AGII, catecholamine release
