Abstract
Cardiomyopathies represent the most important cardiac disease in cats, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is by far the prevailing phenotype. This mainly idiopathic condition affects primarily older and male cats of mixed breed. However, some breeds, such as Maine Coon and Ragdoll, have a predisposition, linked to a mutation. Congestive heart failure and arterial thromboembolism are two fatal consequences, and are responsible for the presenting symptoms, when cats are not subclinical. The gold standard for diagnosis is echocardiography, which additionally allows for differentiation between the five different phenotypes. Clinical staging can guide veterinarians in establishing a management and treatment protocol, as well as assessing the prognosis. This retrospective study aims to analyse the prevalence and other trends associated to this feline disorder at the clinic for internal diseases in the Veterinary Faculty of Zagreb over a 5-year period. Data about epizootiology, presentation and diagnosis to name a few was collected and examined. Overall, most findings are coherent with results from previous research.
Abstract (croatian)
Kardiomiopatije predstavljaju najvažniju skupinu stečenih srčanih bolesti u mačaka. Hipertrofična kardiomiopatija najčešći je oblik kardiomiopatije u mačaka. Općenito govoreći, kardiomiopatije su idiopatske bolesti miokarda koje prvenstveno pogađaju starije i muške mačke. Opisane su i pasminske predispozicije, tako da se hipertrofična kardiomiopatija javlja u pashmina Maine Coon i Ragdoll, a povezana je sa specifičnom genskom mutacijom. Akutno popuštnje (kongestivno zatajivanje) srca i arterijska tromboembolija dva su tipična klinička scenarija kojima se kardiomiopatije očituju. Dijagnostički zlatni standard je ehokardiografija, koja dodatno omogućuje diferencijaciju između pet različitih fenotipova. Kliničko stupnjevanje kardiomiopatija korisno je u standardizaciji pristupa liječenju, ali i prognoziranju ishoda bolesti. Prikazano retrospektivno istraživanje ima za cilj analizirati pretežitost pojave kao i druge pokazatelje kardiomiopatija u populaciji mačaka zaprimljenih u Klinici za unutarnje bolesti Veterinarskog fakulteta u Zagrebu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, tijekom petogodišnjeg razdoblja. Prikupljeni su te istraženi podatci o epizootiologiji, kliničkoj slici i dijagnostičkoj obradi.
