Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease. The disease is characterized by marked variability in morphological expression and natural history, ranging from asymptomatic to heart failure or sudden cardiac death. Left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal ventricular configuration result in dynamic left ventricular ...

Investigations into the Sarcomeric Protein and Ca2+-Regulation Abnormalities Underlying Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Cats (Felix catus). [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common single gene inherited cardiomyopathy. In cats (Felix catus) HCM is even more prevalent and affects 16% of the outbred population and up to 26% in pedigree breeds such as Maine Coon and Ragdoll ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary disease affecting the cardiac muscle and is characterized by heterogeneous genetic, morphological, functional and clinical features. The clinical presentation of HCM varies widely. Patients may be completely asymptomatic and identified incidentally.

An overview of the current genetic and phenotypical selection strategies to reduce the prevalence of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy = Een overzicht van de huidige genetische en fenotypische selectiestrategieën tegen hypertrofe cardiomyopathie bij de kat [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common and potentially lethal heart disease in cats. To reduce its prevalence, breeding cats are frequently screened on the basis of their phenotype or genotype.

A next-generation sequencing approach to identify gene mutations in early-and late-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients of an Italian cohort [PDF]
Sequencing of sarcomere protein genes in patients fulfilling the clinical diagnostic criteria for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) identifies a disease-causing mutation in 35% to 60% of cases.

Myocardial fibrosis as an early manifestation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Myocardial fibrosis is a hallmark of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a proposed substrate for arrhythmias and heart failure. In animal models, profibrotic genetic pathways are activated early, before hypertrophic remodeling.

Prediction of sarcomere mutations in subclinical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Sarcomere protein mutations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy induce subtle cardiac structural changes before the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

Plasma Cardiac Troponin I Concentration and Cardiac Death in Cats with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The use of cardiac biomarkers to assist in the diagnosis of occult and symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats has been established. There is limited data describing their prognostic utility in cats with HCM.
