<Message from the Editor>
Cats and dogs have different prevalent cardiovascular diseases, and the choice of treatment and response to treatment in cats are also significantly different from that in dogs.
Compared to dogs, cardiac surgery is not yet common, and people tend to avoid going to hospitals far away, so cats often require medical management by their family doctor. In such cases, the diagnostic and treatment knowledge acquired for dogs cannot be directly applied to cats, so it is essential to acquire knowledge and techniques for cardiovascular diseases specific to cats. This issue is entirely new and is packed with the latest information from a carefully selected team of talented authors. We hope you will read it and find it useful in your daily medical practice.

＜From the EDUWARD Press editorial department＞
Following the highly popular "Mitral Regurgitation in Dogs" and "Pharmacological Therapy for Heart Disease in Dogs and Cats," the long-awaited third installment of the series is finally here. This time, the author has written a deep dive into the diagnosis and treatment of feline cardiomyopathy. In addition, primary and secondary medical facilities, universities, and doctors who specialize in cats have written about their efforts at each facility. In addition, the book is full of information that goes beyond the disease, such as data on the occurrence of cardiomyopathy and ideas for reducing stress during examinations, which is something that only doctors at cat specialty hospitals can provide. Cardiomyopathy in cats is difficult to detect. Please make use of this book when making a diagnosis.
