Feline hypertension is a common condition that can lead to serious target organ damage if left untreated. This session will explore the latest evidence-based approaches to identifying hypertensive cats, including practical tips for accurate blood pressure measurement and recognizing subtle clinical signs. We’ll also discuss current treatment protocols, medication options, and monitoring strategies to optimize long-term outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

• Apply best practices for accurate and stress-minimized blood pressure measurement in cats.
• Select appropriate antihypertensive therapies and tailor treatment plans to individual patients.
• Monitor treatment efficacy and adjust protocols based on patient response and comorbidities.
