Hipertrofik kardiyomiyopati (HCM), sol ventrikül hipertrofisi ile karakterize, kedilerde yaygın görülen bir kalp hastalığıdır. Mitral kapak stenozu ise diyastol sırasında sol atriyumdan (LA) sol ventriküle kan akışının kısmen engellenmesiyle karakterize, küçük hayvanlarda oldukça nadir görülen bir durumdur. Sekiz aylık Scottish Fold cinsi bir kedi, dispne şikâyeti ile Selçuk Üniversitesi Hayvan Hastanesi’ne getirildi. Fizik muayenede taşipne, dispne ve 3/6 şiddetinde sistolik üfürüm tespit edildi. Transtorasik ekokardiyografide sol ventrikül duvar kalınlığında artış ve LA dilatasyonu saptandı. İki boyutlu ekokardiyografik incelemede mitral kapakçıklarının tam olarak ayrılmadığı, mitral kapak orifis alanının daraldığı ve renkli Doppler incelemede mitral kapak seviyesinde belirgin diyastolik türbülans izlendi. Spektral Doppler analizi, mitral girişinde yüksek ortalama basınç gradiyenti ölçüldü. Bu bulgular, HCM ve mitral kapak stenozunun kedilerde bir arada bulunabileceğini ve ekokardiyografinin bu hastalıkların tanı ve değerlendirilmesinde yararlı bir araç olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

Association of Mitral Valve Stenosis and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Scottish Fold Kitten

Öz

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common feline heart disease characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy. Mitral valve stenosis is an extremely rare heart disease in small animals that causes partial obstruction of blood flow from the left atrium (LA) to the left ventricle during diastole. An eight-month-old Scottish Fold cat was brought to Selcuk University Animal Hospital with a complaint of dyspnea. Physical examination revealed tachypnea, dyspnea, and a grade 3/6 systolic murmur. Transthoracic echocardiography showed increased left ventricular wall thickness and LA dilation. Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed incompletely separated mitral valve leaflets, a narrowed mitral valve orifice area, and marked diastolic turbulence at the mitral valve level on color Doppler. Spectral Doppler demonstrated a high mean pressure gradient across the mitral valve inflow. These findings suggest that mitral valve stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can coexist in cats and that echocardiography is a valuable diagnostic and evaluative tool for this condition.
