    Snippet: Hypersomatotropism (HS) causes reversible left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in humans and cats. The estimated prevalence of HS among UK diabetic cats is 26–32%, however recently HS has also been identified in non‐diabetic cats. Given the high prevalence of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) at 14.7% which, similar to HS increases with age and given that to date only two HCM associated mutations have been identified; we hypothesise that.....
    Document: Hypersomatotropism (HS) causes reversible left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in humans and cats. The estimated prevalence of HS among UK diabetic cats is 26–32%, however recently HS has also been identified in non‐diabetic cats. Given the high prevalence of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) at 14.7% which, similar to HS increases with age and given that to date only two HCM associated mutations have been identified; we hypothesise that HS may be an important phenocopy of HCM in the non‐diabetic feline population. If identified, treatment of HS can cure the cardiomyopathy.
