Abstract

Feline dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a rare disease characterized by myocardial failure and systolic dysfunction.Taurine deficiency is the most important cause of DCM phenotype in cats. A 2 year-old Scottish fold and a 8 month-old domesticshorthair cat were referred to hospital with anorexia, weakness and increased respiratory effort. Based on electrocardiographic,radiographic and echocardiographic findings, the both cases were diagnosed with DCM. The cases were managed with pimobendan,furosemide, acetylsalicylic acid and taurine. The cats were more active and clinically healthy during 15 days follow-up. No remarkablechanges were observed in follow up echocardiographies. The cases presented here reflect the clinical signs, cardiological examinationfindings, diagnosis and management of idiopathic DCMin 2 cats.

Özet

Kedilerin dilate kardiyomiyopatisi (DCM) myokardiyal yetmezlik ve sistolik disfonksiyonla karakterize nadir bir hastalıktır. Taurin yetmezliği kedilerde dilate kardiyomiyopati fenotipinin en önemli nedenidir. İki yaşında Scottish Fold ırkı ve 8 aylık yaştaki Melez ırk kedi; anoreksi, halsizlik ve solunum güçlüğü şikayetleri ile hastaneye getirildi. Elektrokardiyografik, radyografik ve ekokardiyografik bulgular ile her iki olguda da dilate kardiyomiyopati teşhisi koyuldu. Olgular; pimobendan, furosemid, asetilsalisilik asit ve taurin ile sağaltıldı. Kediler on beş gün süresinceki takiplerde daha aktif ve klinik olarak sağlıklıydı. Kontrol ekokardiyografilerinde önemli bir değişiklik belirlenmedi. Burada sunulan olgular; idiyopatik dilate kardiyomiyopatili iki kedideki klinik bulgular, kardiyolojik muayene sonuçları, tanı ve tedaviyi yansıtmaktadır.
