This is a 2 y 8m old, FN DSH cat presented with pleural effusion and dyspnoea.

Echo shows LA:Ao ratio of 1.9 approx and there is a 7mm thrombus in LA. There is IVS diastolic increased thickness as well as post wall, too. (8mm and 6.7mm respectively). My doppler cannot really read and kitty did not tolerate exam to position her on left parasternal for left apical view and more extensive measurements.

It appears to me like Aorta is kind of small in diameter (6.2-6.5 depending on the angle in short axis view) but PA root dimeter is 7.2 and my question is whether there is a possibility of aortic stenosis. I do not see post valvular dilation… any input?

Also, SAM? I always struggle to see whether there is SAM or not.

I assume prognosis is poor considering the thrombus in LA…

Thanks for any input.
