Hypertension in dogs and cats can cause target organ damage. Monitoring blood pressure and administering antihypertensive medication are crucial for managing this condition in pets.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Cardiology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Hypertension is a significant health concern in domestic animals.
  • Clinical signs often indicate target organ damage, particularly in the eyes, kidneys, and heart.
  • Several underlying conditions predispose animals to hypertension.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathophysiology of hypertension in dogs and cats.
  • To outline methods for monitoring blood pressure in these animals.
  • To describe the signs and treatment strategies for hypertension.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on canine and feline hypertension.
  • Discussion of diagnostic criteria and monitoring techniques.
  • Analysis of clinical signs and treatment protocols.

Main Results:

  • Hypertension leads to damage in ophthalmic, renal, and cardiovascular tissues.
  • Specific conditions warranting blood pressure measurement include renal disease, hyperthyroidism, and cardiac hypertrophy.
  • Treatment is recommended for cats with blood pressure >170/100 mmHg and dogs with blood pressure >180/100 mmHg.

Conclusions:

  • Early detection and management of hypertension are vital for preventing target organ damage in dogs and cats.
  • Regular blood pressure monitoring is recommended for at-risk animals.
  • Antihypertensive therapy should be initiated based on established pressure thresholds.
