Abstract
A heart murmur was detected in a five-month-old Persian chinchilla cat. The animal was referred to Nihon University Animal Medical Center where radiographic examination revealed an enlarged heart with dilation of pulmonary arteries and veins and pulmonary oedema. Echocardiography revealed partition of the left atrium, with turbulent blood flow within the left atrium. The patient was placed under continuous care at the facility, but died at seven months of age. Postmortem examination revealed that the left atrium was partitioned by a fibromuscular septum, with a 1 mm diameter perforation, consistent with a diagnosis of cor triatriatum sinister.
