Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Cat

Research Journal of Zoology is a scholarly peer-reviewed, academic journal that publishes original research articles undergoing peer review process with the help of experts in the field of zoology.

Research Journal of Zoology (RJZ) is an Open Access journal focusing on zoology as one subject providing an immense platform to publish original research articles, review articles, case reports, mini review, short communication, etc.Due to advances in life sciences, zoology is being compromised by one or more sub-disciplinaries. However the recent development in the research on genetics and evolution has led to restoration of zoological sciences promoting a rigorous research in various fields of zoology enclosing the distinct aspects of animal life from gene to the ecosystem.

The journal publishes papers with integrative and preliminary approach to descriptive zoology, animal physiology and behavior ecology, developmental and functional evolution, cell biology, etc. The Journal emphasizes high-level research and education. Original research articles, reviews, short communications, and letters to the editors in the fields of speech pathology and therapy are welcome. Every effort is made to have a speedy and critical peer-review process.

In this case, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) was evaluated in a Turkis Van Cat. The cat was presented to the clinic with lethargy and anorexia. In the echocardiographic examination HCM signs were detected. Traditional pharmacological treatment and pimobendan were used. Significant clinical improve was evaluated in a short time with this therapeutic approach.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary myocardial disease affecting cats, people, and a variety of other species. The use of the term cardiomyopathy in reference to feline heart disease seems to have first appeared in 1973. Characteristic pathologic findings of advanced feline HCM, including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH); left ventricular fibrosis; and left atrial dilation, were described but the term cardiomyopathy was not used . Spontaneously occurring models of HCM in cats and dogs with substantial structural similarities to the well-recognized disease entity in humans

A standard editorial manager system is utilized for manuscript submission, review, editorial processing and tracking which can be securely accessed by the authors, reviewers and editors for monitoring and tracking the article processing. Manuscripts can be uploaded online at Editorial Tracking System or as an email attachment to zoologicalscience@scitecjournals.com
