Comparison of Doppler ultrasonic sphygmomanometry, oscillometry and high-definition oscillometry for non-invasive blood pressure measurement in conscious cats.

**Accurate non-invasive blood pressure measurement is essential for managing feline hypertension.**

This study evaluated the accuracy of three non-invasive blood pressure (BP) measurement methods in conscious cats: Doppler ultrasonic sphygmomanometry, oscillometry, and high-definition oscillometry. The devices tested included the Doppler ultrasonic sphygmomanometer, the petMAP Graphic II, SunTech Vet20, and the Cardell Insight-X0000. The study aimed to determine the reliability and precision of these devices for monitoring systemic arterial hypertension, a common and serious condition in felines. Accurate BP measurement is crucial for diagnosing and managing hypertension in cats, as it can lead to severe complications if left untreated. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of these non-invasive BP measurement techniques, assisting veterinarians in selecting appropriate methods for their feline patients. By understanding the performance of these devices, clinicians can make informed decisions to ensure optimal care and improve health outcomes for cats with hypertension.
