Feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: an echocardiographic approach

Feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a primary myocardial disease. Feline HCM is a disease of the ventricular myocardium characterised by mild-to-severe primary concentric hypertrophy. The disease has been attributed to hereditary factors in certain breeds and causal mutations have been discovered...
