Product Information

Averaging: Users can select specific measurements from the device memory and perform automated BP averaging. Hanås S, Holst BS, Ljungvall I, et al. Influence of clinical setting and cat characteristics on indirectly measured blood pressure and pulse rate in healthy Birman, Norwegian Forest, and domestic shorthair cats. J Vet Intern Med. 2021;35(2):801-811. doi:10.1111/jvim.16096 You can store up to 50 measurements. The monitor has a revolving memory. When you take your 51st measurement, it will be listed as measurement #1. How do I delete BP data from memory?

Evaluation of the relationship between peripheral pulse palpation and Doppler systolic blood pressure in dogs presenting to an emergency service. Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, 28( 3), 226–231. [ PubMed] [ Google Scholar] Place the cuff—attached to an oscillometric monitor—on a distal artery; common locations for oscillometric cuff placement are similar to those used for Doppler blood pressure measurement. Hypotensive patients should be monitored on a regular basis and their cardiovascular status should be re-evaluated, at minimum, every 30 minutes. Frequent reassessment is necessary to determine whether therapy is working or if more aggressive intervention is necessary. Simplicity of Use: Intuitive, touch screen interface has all necessary features for reviewing and analyzing BP data. When the left ventricle contracts, blood is pushed into the aorta creating systolic arterial pressure (SAP); then the left ventricle empties, relaxes, and begins to fill again, and aortic pressure falls, creating diastolic arterial pressure (DAP). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is calculated from the systolic and diastolic values: 1

HYPERTENSION

Labato MA. Antihypertensives. In Silverstein DC, Hopper K (eds): Small Animal Critical Care Medicine, 2nd ed. St. Louis: Elsevier, 2015, pp 840-845. Primary hypertension is caused by an imbalance between cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance that has no known cause; therefore, it is sometimes referred to as idiopathic hypertension. 6,7 It is rare in small animals.

Blood pressure measurements should be taken only after the patient has had time to acclimate to the clinic setting. 6 Reassessing the transducer level; if the transducer is displaced, replace it to approximately the level of the right atrium and zero to the patient

Stress and anxiety in the clinic setting, coupled with stress during handling to obtain a blood pressure measurement, can cause elevated readings, resulting in a false diagnosis of hypertension. The following steps should be taken to ensure an accurate measurement:

Tumors or cancer – some types of cancers or non-cancerous tumors can secrete hormones that lead to hypertension, while others create hypertension due to their size or location. We’re used to getting our blood pressure taken as part of a routine visit to the doctor, but what about our dogs? Do we need to know their blood pressure, too?

Because blood pressure is measured at a vet clinic and many animals are stressed or excited there, your veterinarian may not diagnose your dog with high blood pressure until the systolic reading is greater than 160 or 180. What Causes High Blood Pressure in Dogs? Treatment for hypertension in dogs is two-fold. Oral medications can reduce blood pressure and are very useful as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
