Extractions: Myocardial Diseases E chocardiography allows for rapid, non-invasive identification of myocardial disease and differentiation between hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies. Image quality and resolution are important for identifying cardiac wall edges, so that septal and ventricular measurements can be accurately made. This is especially important in cats because of their small size. In general, it is easier to measure wall thickness and chamber dimensions using M-mode images; however, the location and level of the M-mode beam is optimally determined using 2-D echocardiography. cardiomyopathy is characterized by increased septal and left ventricular freewall thickness. In cats, a diastolic thickness of these structures greater than 5 to 5.6 mm indicates hypertrophy. Thickened papillary muscles and reduced left ventricular lumen size are also common. In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the fractional shortening is normal to increased and the left atrium is often markedly enlarged. With hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, septal thickness may be greater than the freewall thickness (asymmetric septal hypertrophy) and systolic narrowing of the left ventricular outflow region from the bulging, hypertrophied septum and SAM may be seen on 2-D imaging. A thrombus is occasionally visualized within the left atrium or auricle in cats with cardiomyopathy.

ARTERIAL THROMBOEMBOLISM Myocardial diseases that affect cats encompass a diverse collection of idiopathic and secondary diseases affecting the myocardium, and the spectrum of anatomic and pathophysiologic characteristics of these diseases is wide. Disease characterized by myocardial hypertrophy is most often seen clinically in cats and is discussed at length in this chapter. Myocardial disease with restrictive pathophysiologic condition is also common. Classic dilated cardiomyopathy is now rarely seen clinically in cats. The myocardial disease of some cats does not fit neatly into the categories of hypertrophic, dilated, or restrictive cardiomyopathy; rather, it is considered "indeterminate" or unclassified myocardial disease. Systemic thromboembolism is a troubling complication in cats with myocardial disease. HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY Etiology The cause of primary or idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats is unknown, although a genetic basis or predisposition is likely in some cases. The disease appears to be highly prevalent in certain bloodlines of several breeds. Most cases of HCM in people are familial, and several specific abnormalities of genes for myocardial proteins have been identified in different kindreds. In addition to mutations of genes that encode for myocardial contractile or regulatory proteins, postulated causes of the disease include an increased myocardial sensitivity to or excessive production of catecholamines; an abnormal hypertrophic response to myocardial ischemic, fibrosis, or trophic factors; a primary collagen abnormality; or abnormalities of the myocardial calciumhandling process. Some cats with HCM have high serum growth hormone concentrations.

Extractions: In our myocarditis laboratory it is possible to test whether a case of cardiac insufficiency is due to chronic inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium). Following a viral infection, e.g. influenza, the heart muscle can become inflamed. This myocardial inflammation (myocarditis) can be acute and lead to pronounced cardiac insufficiency or even heart failure within just a few days. Usually, however, myocardial inflammation advances slowly and chronically, with patients not noticing any cardiac insufficiency until weeks or months have passed, sometimes even unable to remember having had a flu virus at all. Before it can be ascertained whether a case of cardiac insufficiency is due to chronic myocarditis or not, a cardiological examination including a cardiac catheter examination first has to establish whether or not the cardiac insufficiency is due to coronary artery disease, long-term high blood pressure or a heart valve defect. Since acute or chronic myocarditis can only be diagnosed in the myocardial tissue itself, in cases where this disease is suspected it is necessary to remove 6-8 tissue samples the size of a pinhead from the right heart, which then undergo further examination using special methods. The removal of these samples takes place during a right heart catheter examination, is painless and in the right hands barely more of a risk than a right heart catheter examination without the removal of tissue samples.
Extractions: Approx. 10 000 cardiac catheter examinations are carried out per annum, more than 2500 utilizing minimally invasive techniques catheter treatments . Our general cardiological outpatients department treats 6 000 patients a year. To ensure therapeutic success, more than 200 trained staff are on hand, enabling appointments to run smoothly and examination times to be kept short..
