Feline arterial thromboembolism (FATE syndrome) (German: Feline arterielle Thromboembolie) is a disease of the domestic cat in which blood clots block arteries, causing severe circulatory problems. Relative to the total number of feline patients, the disease is rare, but relatively common in cats with heart disease: about one-sixth of cats with ...
Heart murmur occurs in most feline cases, further diagnostics may reveal cardiomegaly and other heart abnormalities. Congestive heart failure can occur during later stages of the disease. [1] A 1990 study reported 50% of cats diagnosed with hypersomatotropism had developed renal failure within 8-36 months of initial examination; [2] however ...
Symptoms that may be identified via radiography include: cardiomegaly, signs of congestive heart failure, signs of pulmonary metastasis, and mediastinal masses. The only way to definitively diagnose a thyroid carcinoma is via histopathological examination of the affected tissue.
Symptoms of congestive heart failure can include shortness of breath, ankle swelling, fatigue, and weight gain. [2] Symptoms of an irregular heart rhythm can include palpitations and chest discomfort. [2] The timecourse of TIC is most well-studied in experiments on animals. [1] Researchers have found that animals began to exhibit abnormal ...
Symptoms are not closely related to the presence or severity of an outflow tract gradient. [18] Often, symptoms mimic those of congestive heart failure (esp. activity intolerance and dyspnea), but treatment of each is different. Beta blockers are used in both cases, but treatment with diuretics, a mainstay of CHF treatment, will exacerbate ...
Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but a new study suggests that could change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that reversed heart failure in animals.
Feline disease refers to infections or illnesses that affect cats. They may cause symptoms, sickness or the death of the animal. Some diseases are symptomatic in one cat but asymptomatic in others. Feline diseases are often opportunistic and tend to be more serious in cats that already have concurrent sicknesses.
Heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), is a syndrome caused by an impairment in the heart's ability to fill with and pump blood. Although symptoms vary based on which side of the heart is affected, HF typically presents with shortness of breath , excessive fatigue , and bilateral leg swelling . [ 3 ]
