Morphologic features of spontaneously occurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) were compared in 38 humans, 51 cats and 10 dogs. Asymmetric hypertrophy of the ventricular septum, marked disorganization ot cardiac muscle cells, abnormal intramural coronary arteries and myocardial fibrosis were each present in the ventricular septum of human, feline, and canine forms of HC; these abnormalities were generally more severe and most frequently identified in humans. Asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy (based on the calculated septal-to-free wall thickness ratio) was most common in humans (31 of 38 [81%]) and dogs (8 of 10 [80%]), as compared with cats (16 of 51 [31%]; p
