Case Study

15-00105 Jasmine S Normal heart—-NO IMAGES—-

A 2 year-old intact female DSH was presented for evaluation of a murmur. Systolic blood pressure was within normal limits.

Sonographic Differential Diagnosis

Normal morphology, normal function. No sign of cardiomyopathy at the moment. The reason a heart murmur was heard is that I cannot assign to any cardiac functional abnormality can probably be due the fact that some normal cats show dynamic murmurs mostly because of dynamic obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (DRVOTO). These murmurs are usually benign which means that these functional alterations donВґt have any hemodyamic or clinical sequelae.

Image Interpretation

A normal left and right ventricle, a normal left and right atrium, normal AV-valves without obvious SAM of the mitral anterior leaflet. The LVOT and RVOT are normal shaped without any detectable turbulence. There is no mitral or tricuspid insufficiency present in this case. Flows across the RVOT and LVOT are normal at the time of examination
