A 16‐month‐old, neutered female domestic shorthaired cat had tachypnoea, inappetence and a heart murmur, which had been first detected at eight weeks old. Diagnosis of reverse shunting patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary hypertension was based on a detailed two‐dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic examination. This report documents the clinical and imaging findings in this rare feline condition.
