HCM, proBNP & A New Cat Heart Treatment: Felycin-CA1

Описание: Your cat can have significant heart disease with absolutely no signs—no murmur, no arrhythmia, no symptoms at all. In cats, the most common heart disease is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and until recently, there were no treatments.

In this video, Dr. Ask, cat veterinarian, chats about a major shift in feline cardiology with the introduction of Felycin-CA1, the first FDA-approved, once-weekly oral medication designed to slow the progression of subclinical HCM in cats. He also chats about the challenges with HCM, including how to diagnose the disease in cats that are not showing any symptoms.
