Therapy of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common form of feline heart disease. Affected cats have concentrical or asymmetrical left ventricular hypertrophy without an identifiable cause. Although many diseases can cause concentrical left ventricular hypertrophy, the term hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is used here exclusively to refer to the idiopathic disease.
