Article Synopsis
- Double outlet right atrium is a rare heart defect that has been seen in humans and cats, but not previously documented in dogs.
- This condition involves the right atrium connecting to both ventricles and is marked by a shifted septum and an atrial septal defect.
- The report details the diagnosis of a five-month-old Cocker Spaniel using echocardiography and CT imaging to confirm the abnormality.
A four-month-old domestic shorthair cat with no clinical signs was referred for further examination of a heart murmur. An echocardiogram revealed marked right atrial dilation, extending into the left hemithorax. Computed tomography angiography was conducted to investigate further, which revealed a balloon-shaped, contrast-filled cavity on the cranial and left side of the chest that connected to the right atrium through a narrow passage.
