Hi,

I too have a cat with a heart condition, Tonali is her name.

My regular vet noticed she had a heart murmur when she was very young.
I took her to the specialist and they did the ECG and all possible tests.
All this info was sent to my regular vet, and I now take her twice a year to get a check up and monitor her condition. So far, she is stable and does not need meds.
I think the key with heart problems is to visit the vet on a regular basis and if there is any change in the condition...back to the specialist.
I know this can get quite costly... we had to go to St Hyacinthe animal hospital, which costed not only the vet visit, but 4 days in a hotel...
Down the line, it's always best to be sure exactly what your cat's condition is. Even if it can be heartbreaking and expensive...at least you know what to expect...
