What prescription cat heart and blood pressure medicine is best?
The best prescription heart and blood pressure medicine is the one your vet recommends for your kitty’s condition. Commonly prescribed heart and BP medications include enalapril, Salix, and amlodipine. As with humans, heart disease can be treated using diuretics, inhibitors/blockers, arterial dilators, or other drugs. Only your vet can properly diagnose feline heart disease and blood pressure problems, so seek expert advice and follow the prescribed regimen closely.
Which cat breeds are more likely to develop heart disease?
The cat breeds that are more likely to develop heart disease include ragdoll, Maine coon, sphynx, and rex breeds. Any cat can develop cardiac disease, however, and age can be a risk factor. Poor-quality diets lacking in taurine increase the risk of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in cats, so be sure to feed a balanced, cat-specific food to your cat. Regular checkups with your vet will help you detect and treat any heart issues your feline may have.
What causes congestive heart failure in cats?
Congestive heart failure in cats can be caused by thyroid disease, high blood pressure, heartworms, anemia, tumors, and birth defects. The leading cause of congestive heart failure in cats is feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which causes a thickened heart ventricle and a buildup of fluid in the atrium that forces fluid back into the lungs. Your vet can diagnose this and other heart issues and prescribe the proper treatments for them.
