<strong>Cardell</strong>® <strong>MAX</strong>-<strong>12</strong><strong>HD</strong> User’s Manualpressure readings taken over time.Normal feline blood pressure: <strong>12</strong>4/84Other investigators have reported comparable reference values:Feline Reference ValuesSystolic(mmHg)Diastolic(mmHg)<strong>12</strong>5 ± 11 89 ± 9 Brown et al, 1997<strong>12</strong>3 ± 14 88 ± 15 Curtet, 2001<strong>12</strong>5 ± <strong>12</strong> 86 ± 15 Weber et al, 2002CANINE NORMAL VALUESThe normal values for dogs are breed-specific. Those for Golden Retrievers, Labradorsand giant breeds tend to be lower than the overall average, and those for greyhounds andin general racing hounds tend to be higher. The table that follows lists the normalvalues for common dog breeds using oscillometric blood pressure monitors.Average canine blood pressure: 133/75This figure was calculated as the mean of 1782 oscillometric measurement in clinicallyhealthy dogs of different breeds. The overall average is therefore serves as a point ofreference only. The individual, or at least breed-specific value must be known to mostaccurately determine whether a given patient’s blood pressure deviates from normal.BreedSystolic Diastolic Pulse Rate(mmHg) (mmHg)Labrador Retriever 118 ± 17 66 ± 13 99 ± 19Golden Retriever <strong>12</strong>2 ± 14 70 ± 11 95 ± 15Great Pyrenees <strong>12</strong>0 ± 16 66 ± 6 95 ± 15Yorkshire Terrier <strong>12</strong>1 ± <strong>12</strong> 69 ± 13 <strong>12</strong>0 ± 14West Highland <strong>12</strong>6 ± 6 83 ± 7 1<strong>12</strong> ± 13Border Collie 131 ± 14 75 ± <strong>12</strong> 101 ± 21King Charles Spaniel 131 ± 16 72 ± 14 <strong>12</strong>4 ± 24German Shepherd 132 ± 13 75 ± 10 108 ± 23Terrier 136 ± 16 76 ± <strong>12</strong> 104 ± 16Bullterrier 134 ± <strong>12</strong> 77 ± 17 <strong>12</strong>2 ± 6Chihuahua 134 ± 9 84 ± <strong>12</strong> 109 ± <strong>12</strong>118 M1.0 5-15-09
