“…Among the cardiovascular indicators, those most often used are HR and BP (VINCENT et al, 1993). In this research, both endocrine (cortisol and glucose serum concentrations) and cardiovascular (SBP and HR) indicators were assessed and demonstrated that the visit to a veterinary hospital is a stressful situation for dogs.…”

“…In a study using the oscillometric method, SBP, diastolic BP and HR obtained from the metatarsal and metacarpal sites of dogs at home were significantly lower than the measurements from the metatarsal site at the veterinary clinic, but were similar to those obtained from the metacarpal area (KALLET et al, 1997). Using similar methods, another study also found an increase of BP, but not in HR measurements obtained in a clinic versus a neutral environment (VINCENT et al, 1993). Using Doppler ultrasonography techniques, a study reported that HR, but not BP, was significantly higher when dogs were at the clinic than when they were at home (REMILLARD et al, 1991).…”

“…The white coat hypertension was already documented in dogs (REMILLARD et al, 1991;VINCENT et al, 1993;KALLET et al, 1997;BODEY & MICHELL, 1997;MOESGAARD et al, 2007); however, the relation of increases in BP in canine patients at a hospital environment with the development of systemic diseases is unknown. In cats, higher values of SBP occur with induced renal insufficiency than in healthy animals during simulated office visits (BELEW et al, 1999).…”

“…In dogs, a change of sympathetic tone caused by the presence of foreign people and/or environment is mainly responsible for the fast increase of BP under clinical conditions (VINCENT et al, 1993). Almost any type of stress, whether physical or psychogenic, causes an immediate and marked increase in the secretion of ACTH by the anterior pituitary, followed within minutes by greatly increased adrenocortical secretion of cortisol (GUYTON & HALL, 2000).…”

“…In this research, both endocrine (cortisol and glucose serum concentrations) and cardiovascular (SBP and HR) indicators were assessed and demonstrated that the visit to a veterinary hospital is a stressful situation for dogs. Also, the canine population is very heterogeneous, and BP values may be influenced by age, sex, breed, size, body condition, exercise regimen of the animals, and by the method of measurement (VINCENT et al, 1993;BODEY & MICHELL, 1996;BODEY & MICHELL, 1997;MICHELL, 2000;MONTOYA et al, 2006;BROWN et Ciência Rural, v.42, n.7, jul, 2012CABRAL et al, 2010). Further studies are necessary to establish if the white coat hypertension differs into these groups.…”

The aim of this chapter is to discuss principles of exercise physiology and follow up, with discussion in an applied manner to familiarise the physiotherapist to some of the sports their animal patients will be undertaking. The chapter presumes a basic understanding of the physiology of exercise in people, and aims to expand knowledge of animal exercise physiology so that physiotherapists can more appropriately develop rehabilitation and exercise programmes for their animal patients.The physiology of exercise in animals is similar in physiological principles to humans and much of the research work in man has been and is still carried out on animals for the purposes of enhancing knowledge for human exercise physiologists. However, certain differences clearly occur that can have clinical significance and may affect exercise potential. Of course, animals are quadrupeds, but other factors can be equally important, such as the inability of horses to mouth breathe and dogs only sweat in localised regions of their body.For species-specific exercise physiology in animals, the greatest amount of research and knowledge has centred on the athletic horse, although this is gradually changing. Despite the advancements in research and clinical application of exercise physiology principles in animals, it may still surprise the physiotherapist used to working in a human sports setting how limited the translation of this knowledge is at the sporting industry level. Principles of exercise physiology Energy production for exerciseIt is clearly the aim of trainers of performance animals to maximise the animal's capacity for exercise. In simplest terms this means maximising the availability of energy for muscle contraction, in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the fuels required to produce it.There are limited stores of ATP within muscles for muscle contraction (either as ATP, or high energy phosphates like phosphocreatine) so energy is produced during exercise either aerobically or anaerobically, depending on the availability of oxygen (and substrate). Aerobic energy productionAerobic production of ATP occurs via a series of reactions within the mitochondria called aerobic or oxidative phosphorylation because of its requirement for oxygen, and the ultimate step is the phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to make ATP. Aerobic energy production can occur using stored muscle glycogen or glucose from blood as an energy substrate. This involves glycogen or glucose undergoing glycolysis to produce pyruvate in the cell cytoplasm. Pyruvate can then be transported into the mitochondria where it is converted to acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) in the mitochondria, which enters the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) or Krebs cycle. The net result of the TCA cycle is the production of ATP and the production of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH 2 ), which enter the electron transport chain producing ATP.Complete aerobic metabolism of one glucose unit (entering as glucose-1-phosphate) fr...

Relationships Between Degree of Azotaemia and Blood Pressure, Urinary Protein:Creatinine Ratio and Fractional Excretion of Electrolytes in Dogs with Renal Azotaemia

et al. 2006

Blood pressure (BP) was measured in 31 renal azotaemic dogs by oscillometric measurement at the posterior tibia artery, and urine and blood samples were collected. Haematology, blood chemistry and urinalysis were performed and urinary protein:creatinine ratio (UPC) and fractional excretions of electrolytes (FE(e)) were calculated. The results showed that only 19% of dogs with renal azotaemia were hypertensive, whereas almost all of them had high urinary protein and electrolyte excretions. There was no association between BP, UPC and FE(e). A positive correlation was found between all pairs of electrolyte fractional excretions. When the severity of renal impairment was observed using plasma creatinine concentration, neither BP nor UPC was correlated. Only the FE( e ) was associated with the degree of azotaemia. The results suggest that dogs with renal azotaemia do not necessarily have hypertension. The fractional urinary excretion of electrolytes may be a good indicator for severity of renal dysfunction in azotaemic dogs.
