Update: Karma's appt with cardiologist yesterday;

Well we did an ultrasound, and Karma's walls were just on the edge of the maximum thickness.; .55.54.53 as measured in three different spots. So the concern the doc has is that we may be seeing the start of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. So he has some meds now, and we will retest in one year's time. The disease process varies by individual, some slow progresses and some fast progresses. She is hopeful though that if there is no change in one year, that this is just the "normal" for his heart.

I will of course communicate with his breeder as this is a dominant gene and is hereditary (although not with full penetration).
