Abstract

A 12-month-old, 3.0-kg, male, Scottish fold cat was referred to Irion animal hospital with dyspnea and cardiac murmur. In radiograph, right-sided cardiomegaly and pleural effusion were identified. In echocardiographic examination, abnormal stenotic region was identified in right ventricle and dilation of right atrium and concentric hypertrophy of interventricular septum and the free wall of right ventricle were also identified. In the stenotic region, abnormal muscular band was identified. The turbulent flow was identified in infundibular region of right ventricular outflow tract with color-Doppler examination and high velocity flow (4.0 m/s) was also identified in stenotic region. With these results, double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) was diagnosed.
