Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. A cat is generally thought to be hypertensive when its systolic blood pressure is above 160mm Hg.

Symptoms of high blood pressure are often unnoticed by the owner. A sudden or gradual onset of blindness can be the only outward sign that your pet may have high blood pressure. High blood pressure can worsen existing kidney disease, can cause bleeding in the brain, and will eventually affect every organ in the body.

Here is how to make sense of your numbers: Normal blood pressure: According to the American Heart Association, blood pressure is in the normal range if it's below 120/80 mm Hg. Prehypertension: Between 120/80 mm Hg and 139/89 mm Hg. Stage 1 high blood pressure: Between 140/90 mm Hg and 159/99 mm Hg.

The American Heart Association (AHA) state that normal blood pressure readings have a systolic pressure below 120 mm Hg and a diastolic pressure below 80 mm Hg. High blood pressure often does not cause any noticeable symptoms. However, it can lead to serious health complications, such as heart disease and stroke.

ideal blood pressure is considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. high blood pressure is considered to be 140/90mmHg or higher.

If you're an adult and your systolic pressure is 120 to 129, and your diastolic pressure is less than 80, you have elevated blood pressure. High blood pressure is a systolic pressure of 130 or higher,or a diastolic pressure of 80 or higher, that stays high over time.

They're both measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). As a general guide: high blood pressure is considered to be 140/90mmHg or higher (or 150/90mmHg or higher if you're over the age of 80) ideal blood pressure is usually considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.

Your blood pressure is normal if it's below 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure. Elevated blood pressure is a systolic pressure ranging from 120 to 129 mm Hg and a diastolic pressure below 80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure tends to get worse over time unless steps are taken to control blood pressure.

The risk of stroke increases continuously above blood pressure (BP) levels of approximately 115/75 mm Hg. Since the association is steep, and BP levels are high in most adult populations, almost two thirds of stroke burden globally is attributable to nonoptimal BP (ie, >115/75 mm Hg).

ideal blood pressure is considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. high blood pressure is considered to be 140/90mmHg or higher. low blood pressure is considered to be 90/60mmHg or lower.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is defined as blood pressure greater than or equal to 130/80 mm Hg. The condition is a serious concern for some pregnant women. When it's well-managed, high blood pressure during pregnancy isn't always dangerous.

The normal body temperature range for cats is between 100.5°F and 102.5°F (38.1°C to 39.2°C).

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the name now used to refer to cats with kidney failure (or chronic kidney failure). CKD is one of the most common conditions affecting older cats, and in most cases is progressive over time so that there is a gradual decline and worsening of the disease.

Now, elevated blood pressure (without a diagnosis of hypertension) is systolic blood pressure (the top number) between 120 and 129. That used to be a vague category called “prehypertension.”

Fever is a term that refers to an elevated body temperature. The normal body temperature range for cats is between 100.5°F and 102.5°F (38.1°C to 39.2°C).

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a condition in which the pressure of the blood pumping through the arteries is abnormally high. This increases the risk of stroke, aneurysm, heart failure, heart attack and kidney damage.

These are the standard classifications for normal and high blood pressure. Normal blood pressure: 90/60 to under 120/80 mm Hg. Prehypertension, or risk for hypertension: 120-139/80-89 mm Hg.
