ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to assess the effect of gabapentin on blood pressure (BP) in cats with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD).MethodsA randomized, blinded, placebo-cont This article aims to discuss what is new in feline hypertension and how we can work as a team to measure systolic blood pressure (SBP) more often, which will undoubtedly lead to more frequent diagnosis and treatment of the condition. ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to assess the effect of gabapentin on blood pressure (BP) in cats with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD).MethodsA randomized, blinded, placebo-cont The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of gabapentin on blood pressure (BP) in cats with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD).A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study was performed. A total of 29 cats were included: Gabapentin can sometimes cause sedation and, in rare cases, may affect heart rate and blood pressure. Cats with pre-existing heart conditions may be more susceptible to these effects. The study objective was to evaluate sedative, hemodynamic, and echocardiographic effects of cats receiving single-dose, oral gabapentin. A prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study was conducted with 10 client-owned cats. Vital parameters, physical exam, blood pressure, echoca Researchers studying the effects of gabepentin found it has an effect on arterial BP in cats with and without chronic kidney disease. This effect appears to be more than just the result of stress reduction. These findings should be taken into account when gabapentin is administered to patients for which measurement of BP is needed. Check out the findings of this study that evaluated the effects of gabapentin on blood pressure in healthy cats and cats with stable chronic kidney disease. Situational increases in blood pressure (BP) frequently confound the accurate diagnosis of pathological systemic hypertension in cats. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of gabapentin on direct, ambulatory systolic arterial BP (SBP) in cats in at-home and in-clinic environments. Effect of Gabapentin on Cardiovascular Parameters in Cats Gabapentin is an oral medication commonly given to cats for sedation or prior to veterinary visits to reduce their anxiety. While there are currently no known side effects in cats, this medication does tend to lower their heart rates, which can be detrimental to cats with heart conditions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Abstract Objectives Situational increases in blood pressure (BP) frequently confound the accurate diagnosis of pathological systemic hypertension in cats. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of gabapentin on direct, ambulatory systolic arterial BP (SBP) in cats in at-home and in-clinic environments. Methods Six adult purpose-bred cats with surgically implanted femoral Abstract Objectives The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of gabapentin on blood pressure (BP) in cats with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study was performed. The cats were evaluated twice, approximately 1 week apart, and BP (Doppler sphygmomanometry) was obtained 3 h after cats received either a single dose of gabapentin 10mg/kg PO or placebo. Gabapentin may decrease arterial BP in cats with and without CKD and these findings should be taken into account when gabapentin is administered to patients in which measurement of BP is needed. Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate, using echocardiography, the effects of oral administration of a single dose of gabapentin on the physiologic variables (heart rate [HR], respiratory rate [RR] and systolic blood pressure [SBP]) and systolic and diastolic cardiac function of healthy cats. Methods This was a prospective, randomized and blinded study with 40 healthy cats The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of gabapentin on blood pressure (BP) in cats with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study was performed.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of gabapentin on direct, ambulatory systolic arterial BP (SBP) in cats in at-home and in-clinic environments. Gabapentin was also tested as an anxiolytic in clinically healthy cats to assess the level of sedation, its effects on non-invasive blood pressure and heart rate, and to evaluate echocardiographic measurements of chamber size, as well as systolic and diastolic function.
