Pimobendan is a well-established cardiac support medication widely used in veterinary medicine to improve heart function. In cats, it is commonly prescribed off-label for the management of certain heart conditions, particularly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with systolic dysfunction, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and congestive heart failure (CHF) under strict veterinary supervision.

Pimobendan works by increasing cardiac contractility while reducing cardiac workload, helping the feline heart pump more efficiently and improving circulation. This dual mechanism can support better oxygen delivery, enhanced activity tolerance, and improved quality of life in cats with heart disease.
