PetMap™ is specifically developed for blood pressure measurement on cats and dogs.

PetMap™provides systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate using a propriety new oscillometric technology for enhanced sensitivity, accuracy, and performance.

PetMap™is based on intra-arterial measurements.

About the oscillometric method:

Oscillometric Blood Pressure is determined based on arterial wall pulsations. The re-entry of blood into the arteries occluded by the cuff makes the wall of the arteries expand or "pulse".

These pulsations travel through the soft tissue to the surface of the limb where they are detected by the cuff and analyzed by the microprocessor.

This analysis provides systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure readings along with heart rate.

About blood pressure measurement in the veterinary medicine:

The symptoms of arterial hypertension are very feeble by animals at the beginning of the disease.

In many cases, the diagnostic comes too late. Especially old animals and particularly cats are affected by hypertension but there are also a lot of indications on dogs.

A periodic check should be done by each old animal: blood analyse (detection of a kidney insufficiency) and a blood pressure measurement to detect hypertension. According current studies, up to 30% of the cats who suffer from chronic kidney insufficiency have systemic hypertension. Cerebral, ocular and severe renal troubles… can be the consequences of arterial hypertension.

It is also useful to screen blood pressure before ore during an infusion: the arterial pressure can be a suggestive indicator of the animal's condition before an infusion.

The veterinarian can adjust the infusion according to the results.
