Original publication title: ACVIM consensus statement: Guidelines for the identification, evaluation, and management of systemic hypertension in dogs and cats.
Plain-English summary
A group of veterinary experts recently updated their guidelines on how to identify, evaluate, and manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in dogs and cats. This update, which builds on earlier recommendations from 2007, was shared at a veterinary conference in 2017. The goal of these guidelines is to help veterinarians accurately diagnose and treat high blood pressure in pets. Following these recommendations can lead to better care for pets suffering from this condition.
