Katharine Hepburn had her annual cardio checkup today and all is well. Grade 1 heart murmur as usual-which we all know doesn't mean a thing. Size of murmur doesn't indicate heart disease nor indicates a lack of heart disease. A louder murmur doesn't mean a more severe heart condition and a low murmur does not mean a lack of a heart disease. Katharine gets an annual checkup because she has a murmur (and all murmurs should be checked with an echo because (again) size of sound does not matter but the presence of a murmur may indicate heart disease) AND because she is Myrna Loy's sibling.
I began this blog in March 2014 when our cat suddenly developed symptoms of heart disease after dental surgery in February. Unfortunately, the disease took him August 9, 2014. Now that he has passed, there isn't much more to add to the blog but I will post something from time to time. Please read the corresponding blog "Cat Living with HCM" and the Facebook pages Cats Living with HCM and the Feline Moderator Band Facebook page.
