Treatment

Endomyocarditis

• No one standard therapy to date
• Small percentage of cats have survived on long-term therapy
• Supportive care with oxygen and ventilation

Endocardial Fibroelastosis and EMBs

• Oxygen therapy via cage delivery is least stressful
• Lung membrane tap if necessary

Living and Management

Expected Course and Prognosis:

• Endomyocarditis — Poor, although some animals survive; endomyocarditis may progress to left ventricular endocardial fibrosis
• Endocardial fibroelastosis and EMBs — medical treatment may prolong life, but recovery is unlikely.
