Show Notes
In this VETgirl podcast, we review platelet activation in cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Arterial thromboembolism - more commonly known as saddle thrombus - in cats with HCM occurs secondary to intracardiac thrombi formation, believed associated with Virchow's triad: underlying endocardial injury, blood stasis (e.g., left atrial blood flow), and a disease condition that predisposes towards a hypercoagulable state (e.g., cardiac disease, IMHA, neoplasia, etc.).
