Why the study?
Does tissue Doppler imaging detect myocardial dysfunction earlier than conventional echocardiography in a feline model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Does tissue Doppler imaging detect myocardial dysfunction earlier than conventional echocardiography in a feline model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Tissue Doppler imaging can detect early myocardial dysfunction in spontaneous feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy before conventional echocardiography shows hypertrophy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May allow earlier detection of myocardial dysfunction in feline HCM; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Chetboul et al. (2006) studied this question.
