AI Article Synopsis
- * Diagnostic tests including echocardiography and Holter electrocardiography revealed a temporary high-grade atrioventricular block associated with the vomiting, leading to a diagnosis of situational syncope.
- * The cat improved with antiemetic treatment, but later died from chronic kidney disease about 3 years after the diagnosis, marking the first reported instance of situational syncope due to vomiting in a cat.
Article Abstract
A 14-year-old spayed female mixed-breed cat weighing 3.4 kg was admitted to the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology Animal Medical Center for syncope after vomiting. Echocardiography, electrocardiography, and thoracic radiography revealed no abnormalities. Holter electrocardiography showed a paroxysmal high-grade atrioventricular block coinciding with the vomiting. Based on these findings, the cat was diagnosed as having situational syncope with paroxysmal high-grade atrioventricular block triggered by vomiting, which improved with antiemetic treatment alone. The cat subsequently died of chronic kidney disease approximately 3 years and 4 months after the initial diagnosis. This is the first reported case of situational syncope triggered by vomiting in a cat.
