Contrast-enhanced echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular wall measurements in cats.
Clinical evidence update from Journal of veterinary cardiology : the official journal of the European Society of Veterinary Cardiology
Clinical Context Peer-reviewed veterinary literature continues to shape everyday decision-making for feline patients, especially when new evidence clarifies diagnosis, treatment selection, monitoring, or clinical outcomes.
What the Study Evaluated A study published in Journal of veterinary cardiology: the official journal of the European Society of Veterinary Cardiology in 2026 evaluated contrast-enhanced echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular wall measurements in cats..
Key Findings Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is defined by increased left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT), making accurate measurement essential. Contrast-enhanced echocardiography (C-ECHO) improves myocardial border delineation. We aimed to evaluate whether C-ECHO provides more reliable LVWT measurements in cats than standard echocardiography (S-ECHO). Forty-five cats (32 with an LVWT <6 mm and 13 w…
