Abstract
The article discusses the main diagnostic methods used in the diagnosis of hypotrophic cardiomyopathy in cats. The work was carried out on the basis of one of the veterinary clinics in St. Petersburg. Of the clinical symptoms, the most common are shortness of breath, cyanosis, weakness, breathing through the mouth. Systemic hypertension was diagnosed in sick cats. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of cats, echocardiography is still the gold standard of diagnosis, but it is worth noting that for an accurate diagnosis, one should not be limited to ultrasound examination of the heart, a comprehensive assessment of the clinical status of the animal should be carried out and the degree of negative effect of HCM on a particular patient should be determined.
