Why the study?
What is the prevalence of echocardiographic changes consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in asymptomatic Swedish Maine coon cats?
What is the prevalence of echocardiographic changes consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in asymptomatic Swedish Maine coon cats?
The prevalence of HCM in asymptomatic Maine coon cats varies significantly based on echocardiographic reference values, suggesting normal left ventricular wall thickness may be ≤5.0 mm rather than ≤6.0 mm.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
HCM prevalence in asymptomatic Maine coon cats varies by cutoff; leaves optimal LV wall thickness thresholds for screening open.
Gundler et al. (2008) studied this question.
