Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite becoming more widely used in small animal medicine, blood pressure measurement is still an area where there are gaps in our knowledge and significant challenges for practicing veterinarians. Part of the reason for our incomplete understanding is the challenge that blood pressure monitors have to overcome in order to accurately measure blood pressure, especially in awake animals. Both hypotension and hypertension can detrimentally affect our small animal patients so that monitoring is essential in many clinical settings. This Special Issue will act as a source of the newest information on blood pressure related topics in small animal practice. Original research articles, case series and reviews are welcomed that focus on a blood-pressure-related topic such as measurement and monitoring (equipment, techniques, etc.), hypertension or hypotension.
