Heart Conditions in Felidae
2017  Book Chapter

In this chapter "Heart Conditions in Felidae," we addressed some facts of the cardiovascular system and its disorders. The disorders are: arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular heart block, cardiac tumors, chronic valve disease (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), dilated cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonic stenosis, subaortic stenosis, and spongy myocardium. Veterinary clinical evaluation of the feline with heart disease is based on many aspects, and also the deviation from the normal standards suggests but does not specify structural heart disease.
