Provide a safe, quiet, comfortable environment and slowly introduce yourself, allowing the pet to feel at ease and build a sense of trust. Further, human blood pressure cuffs are not validated for dogs or cats. She also suspects that human machines use a different algorithm than those designed for pets, but cannot confirm this with certainty. She feels that most vets would not feel comfortable making medication adjustments based on DIY home blood pressure readings because of the liability risk. 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 With blood pressure reading, there is a bigger learning curve and more chances to get things wrong,” Buzby reports. “Results will be drastically impacted by cuff size error and/or placement error.” Select the Memory button and touch the Delete button. Before the memory is cleared, you will be asked to confirm or cancel the deletion. When you clear the Memory, you delete all measurements. For medium-sized dogs, which animal mode do I choose?

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. 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. If you absolutely want a blood-pressure monitoring at each office visit, chances are all you have to do is pay for it. The wisest course of action is to discuss the option with your veterinarian. Table 2 lists the supplies needed for Doppler ultrasonographic blood pressure measurement. TABLE 2.The equipment necessary to monitor DABP (eg,pressure transducers, hemodynamic monitors) can be cost prohibitive, especially when not used frequently. Ideally, the same size cuff and same limb should be used for all consecutive blood pressure measurements. 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? Today’s Veterinary Nurse reports there are specific times for blood pressure monitor, and those include:

Dogs are more likely to have secondary hypertension, which means another disease is actually causing the high blood pressure. The most likely first offenders are kidney disease, diabetes, Cushing’s disease, and eye problems. At one end of the system—the end farthest away from the patient—a fluid administration set is connected to a heparinized bag of 0.9% sodium chloride ( Table 3). Veterinary nurses play a fundamental role in patient care. Appropriately monitoring patient blood pressure, documenting results, interpreting them, and communicating changes and concerns to the clinician provides all members of the veterinary team with an opportunity to proactively manage potential problems. If you are like me and enjoy learning more about dog health topics, here are some of the resources we used for this piece and further reading: Blood pressure is the force that propels blood through the vascular system to deliver oxygen and nutrients to every cell of the body. Blood pressure is determined by many factors, including how hard and fast the heart pumps and how dilated or constricted blood vessels are. Each of these is influenced by various hormones, physical fitness, diet and genetics.

Should Dog Blood Pressure Occur At Regular Vet Visits?

Once the pressure transducer is connected to the monitor, zero it at the level of the patient’s right atrium. Once zeroed, the pressure transducer converts the pressure changes in the artery to an electrical signal that is displayed on the monitor as a pressure wave form; numeric values for SAP, MAP, and DAP are also displayed. 1 Koo ST, Carr AP. Comparison of home blood pressure and office blood pressure measurement in dogs and cats. Can J Vet Res. 2022;86(3):203-208.

Let them wear it for about five minutes at a time and pair it with things they like, such as brushing, cuddling, or treats. If you're using treats, make sure your veterinarian approves of them as far as your dog's medical condition. First, if a dog has an underlying medical diagnosis which predisposes him or her to an elevated BP (like renal disease or Cushing’s syndrome) then routine monitoring is very important. 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?

Better BP for Pets & Vets

Using only semi-rigid tubing to connect the pressure transducer to the patient—the use of compliant tubing results in excessive damping of the pressure wave, causing inaccurate readings
