  • Title: Multiple cardiac anomalies in a cat.
    Author: Rochat MC, Lattimer JC, Miller MA, Constantinescu GM, Settles EL.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1992 Oct 01; 201(7):1049-52. PubMed ID: 1429133.
    Abstract:
    A 7-week-old domestic shorthair cat was examined because of congestive heart failure. Echocardiography and angiography were used to identify multiple cardiac anomalies. Because of the uncorrectable nature of the defects, the cat was euthanatized. Necropsy revealed persistent left vena cava, patent foramen ovale, and a right atrial/left ventricular canal. The right atrioventricular valve was replaced by a small ostium, and no chordae tendinae or papillary muscles were observed around the ostium. The pulmonary trunk originated from the right atrium. The right ventricular free wall was approximately 1 mm thick.
