We evaluated the medical records of client-owned dogs treated with antihypertensive drugs between 2017 and 2018.

Systolic blood pressure was measured using an indirect Doppler method over 4 weeks. Naturally acquired hyperadrenocorticism was the most common disorder to be diagnosed in conjunction with systemic hypertension. In the telmisartan group, the systolic blood pressure decreased more rapidly for 3 weeks compared to ramipril.

This is the first study in Los Angeles County to employ active surveillance regarding an important zoonotic disease. The findings prove that results from these types of studies may differ from those of predictions and passive surveillance.
