Right: M-mode echocardiogram from and an MC cat with severe fHCM with atrial fibrillation (HR 325/min), congestive heart failure and tromboembolic disease, recorded at the level of the chordae tendinae to assess left ventricular dimensions shows severe thickening of both the septum and posterior wall of the left ventricle.
