Abstract:
... A 7-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat, previously diagnosed and treated for diabetes mellitus (DM), subsequently presented in heart failure (HF). Echocardiography revealed biatrial and biventricular dilation with poor myocardial function, and a left atrial-to-aortic ratio of 1.95:1. There was caudal vena cava dilation, hepatomegaly and ascites. The HF was treated with furosemide for 5 ...

Abstract:
... The feline cardiomyopathies are the most prevalent type of heart disease in adult domestic cats. Several forms have been identified (see Parts 2 and 3), with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) being the most common. Clinically the cardiomyopathies are often indistinguishable. Cats with subclinical cardiomyopathy may or may not have characteristic physical examination findings (eg, heart murmur, gal ...

Abstract:
... Adipositas cordis (AC) is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by fatty infiltration of the myocardium without signs of tissue destruction or inflammation. Its diagnosis is challenging and requires histopathological examination. This study describes such cardiomyopathy in two cats that died suddenly. In both cases, anatomopathological examination showed gross lesions indicative of acute heart failu ...

However, unlike in dogs and humans little has been described about the use of torasemide in the cat with spontaneous CHF. The objectives of this retrospective study were therefore to describe the therapeutic use of oral torasemide in cats with spontaneous CHF, document its p ...
