Cat Heart Health
Years ago, one of my neighbours cats suffer the untimely death after suffering a heart condition. Ever since then I have been concerned about ensuring my own cat heart health is maintained so that she does not suffer the same fate.
My neighbour's cat suffered a complication called Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy or FHC. This peculiar complication is allegedly hereditary and is caused by the thickening of heart muscle occurring mostly in male cats in their middle age. There is unfortunately no known cure for the condition but if diagnosed early treatment regime can be initiated and a cat can live for many years following its detection.
The symptoms can present quite suddenly and unfortunately can result in death. But there are other symptoms that can raise the alarm early enough for real action to be taken. Some of the earliest symptoms are:
Breathing difficulties or dyspnoea • Lethargy • Paralysis of the rear legs • Anorexia
Affected cats are also prone to fainting from time to time and this can be a tell-tale symptom of FHC.

As we all know though cats are extremely stoic characters and it is this trait which can disguise the presence of some symptoms. When a Experiences breathing difficulties or feels faint it is quite common for them to give the lie down or sit very still lost their body relaxes completely. This appears quite normal to any cat owner so the onset of FHC can be hidden.
It is because of this that diagnoses can be difficult to make and may require copycat of veterinary assessments involving radiographs and electrocardiograms. Blood samples can also provide the information required to make an accurate diagnosis. In terms of treatment, a course of medication will be indicated and cat owners will need to get used to a rigorous and timely dispensation of the required drugs. Beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers will often be prescribed to assist heart function and myocardial oxygen consumption. This means that the drugs are aimed at decreasing the strain on the heart that normal everyday activities can place upon it and to regulate the hearts function so that it operates at maximum capacity even when the drugs reduce its normal functioning level.
When your cat is suffering from this condition modern veterinarian advice is to provide as stress free an environment as possible. By working very closely with your vet and making sure that the drug regime is adhered to there is every chance that your cat can live a comfortable life albeit at a reduced level from what you would normally expect.
