Question

A 6-year old male domestic short hair presents dyspneic with fluid dripping from both nares. The veterinarian suspects heart failure due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. What type of injection would most likely immediately be given?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is : A diuretic

Explanation: Cardiomyopathy is a disease where the myocardium weakens, the heart cannot function well. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the cardiac muscle thickens in an abnormal way, making it difficult for the blood to flow out of the heart and must exert more effort than usual to pump the blood.
