Massive left atrium

Hello,

I saw this case today and had some questions please.

– Adult DSH presented day prior with tachypnoea and gallop rhythm

– I could see a huge left atrium with smoke

– I don’t think there is a pericardial effusion but there is fluid surrounding left ventricular free wall, is this the enlarged left atrium, could it have ruptured?

– Can you make out underlying heart disease?

Feline cardiac disease always amazes me, thanks in advance.
