Which heart conditions are considered treatable in cats, and which are not? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
Good question. One of the major diseases that cats get is cardiomyopathy or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is enlarged muscles of the heart that don't flex very well. And that makes it hard for the heart to pump blood. And so when that happens, that can be life-threatening for some of our cats.
