Judul: Motion Mode Echocardiography on Healthy Male Indonesian Domestic House Cat
Abstrak: The purpose of this study was to determine the normal echocardiographic heart measurements of healthy male Indonesian Domestic House Cat. Nine male cats weighing between 3.3 – 4.4 kg were anesthetized using zolazepam-tiletamine (8 mg/kgBW). Echocardiographic examination was performed on the right parasternal short axis at the papillary muscles and the aorta level using a 7.5 MHz transducer. Parameters observed were: left ventricular wall thickness (LVW), interventricular septa thickness (IVS), left ventricular internal diameter (LVID), aorta (AO), and left atrium (LA), all during systole (s) and diastole (d). Derivative measurements include left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVED), end-systolic volume (LVES), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), ejection fraction (EF), and fractional shortening (FS). Brightness mode shows that the IVS and LVW were hypoechoic, the LA, LVID and aorta lumen were anechoic and the aorta wall was hyperechoic. The average measurements of the Indonesian Domestic House Cat were: LVWs 0.57 ± 0.03 cm, LVWd 0.35 ± 0.06 cm, IVSs 0.56 ± 0.03 cm, IVSd 0.30 ± 0.05 cm, LVIDs 0.78 ± 0.11 cm, LVIDd 1.48 ± 0.12 cm, AOs 0.69 ± 0.06 cm, LA 0.73 ± 0.04 cm. The LA:AO ratio was 1.07 ± 0.1. Derivative measurements: LVED 5.96  1.17 ml, LVES 1.08  0.42 ml, SV 1.08  0.42 ml, CO 865.18  178.66 ml/minute, EF 82.28  4.64 %, FS 48  5 %.

Judul: A Case Study of Cardiac Tamponade in A Domestic Short Hair Male Cat
Abstrak: Kucing merupakan salah satu hewan kesayangan paling populer di dunia saat ini. Salah satu penyebab utama resiko kematian mendadak pada kucing adalah penyakit jantung. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan kejadian penyakit tamponade jantung pada kucing jantan domestic short hair berusia dua tahun yang didiagnosis menggunakan ekokardiografi di Rumah Sakit Hewan Pendidikan FKH IPB University. Mode ekokardiografi yang dilakukan pada pasien adalah ekokardiografi dua dimensi Brightness-mode, Motion-mode, dan color flow doppler. Pemeriksaan dengan B-mode menunjukkan adanya efusi perikardium dan pembesaran atrium kiri. Pemeriksaan dengan M-mode menunjukkan peningkatan ketebalan inter ventricular septa-diastole, left ventricle posterior wall-diastole, dan left ventricle posterior wall-systole. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan terjadinya tamponade jantung pada kucing jantan domestic short hair. Pemeriksaan color flow doppler tidak menunjukkan adanya warna regurgitasi atau turbulensi pada katup atrio-ventrikular dan katup semilunar. Hasil menunjukkan kondisi katup yang normal., Cats are one of the most popular pets in the world today. One of the main causes of the risk of sudden death in cats is heart disease. This case study aims to describe the incidence of cardiac tamponade in a 2-year-old domestic short hair male cat diagnosed using echocardiography at IPB University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. The echocardiography modes performed in the patient were two-dimensional Brightnessmode (B-mode) echocardiography, Motion-mode (M-mode), and color flow doppler echocardiography. B-mode examination showed pericardial effusion and left atrial enlargement. M-mode examination showed an increase in the thickness of the interventricular septa-diastole, left ventricle posterior wall-diastole, and left ventricle posterior wall-systole. These results indicate the occurrence of cardiac tamponade in a male domestic short hair cat. Color flow doppler examination did not show any regurgitation or turbulence in the atrio-ventricular and semilunar valves. The results show normal valve conditions.
