Abstract

A two-month-old, male intact, mixed-breed cat weighing 0.6 kg was presented with respiratory distress and anorexia. From the transthoracic echocardiographic, reduced fractional shortening (FS) and increased endocardial echogenicity were recognised with severe congestive heart failure (CHF). The kitten was administered an antibiotic and pimobendane under oxygen supplementation in an ICU cage. However, the respiratory condition worsened and the cat died the next day, and the subsequent necropsy and histopathology examinations confirmed endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE). There is a lack of information regarding the antemortem cardiac function evaluated by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in EFE cases. We report on the echocardiographic findings including the TDI in the EFE cat with a concomitant necropsy and histopathology confirmation in this paper. The echocardiographic findings showed presence of a ventricular false tendon within the left ventricle, a decrease in the left ventricular contractility (FS 11.1%, and a marked CHF). In this case, the echocardiographic findings were consistent with the human counterpart. However, these findings were like those of dilated cardiomyopathy and, hence, non-specific to EFE. As a result, veterinarians should keep in mind that endocardial fibroelastosis might be a possible reason for respiratory distress resulting from CHF with a low fractional shortening in young cats.

对一只患有左心衰的混种猫心内膜纤维细胞增生症进行临床和尸检评估。
一只两个月大的雄性混血猫,体重 0.6 千克,出现呼吸困难和厌食。经胸超声心动图显示,骨折缩短率(FS)降低,心内膜回声增强,并伴有严重的充血性心力衰竭(CHF)。在重症监护室的笼子里,给小猫注射了抗生素和皮莫本丹,并补充了氧气。随后的尸体解剖和组织病理学检查证实了心内膜纤维细胞增生症(EFE)。目前还缺乏通过组织多普勒成像(TDI)评估 EFE 病例死前心脏功能的相关信息。我们在本文中报告了 EFE 猫的超声心动图结果,包括 TDI,并同时进行了尸检和组织病理学确认。超声心动图结果显示左心室内存在心室假腱索、左心室收缩力下降(FS 11.1%,以及明显的慢性心力衰竭)。该病例的超声心动图结果与人类病例一致。然而,这些结果与扩张型心肌病的结果相似,因此对 EFE 没有特异性。因此,兽医应牢记,心内膜纤维细胞增生症可能是幼猫因心肌收缩力(CHF)导致呼吸窘迫的一个原因。
