摘要

本研究的目的為利用都卜勒血壓儀建立臨床上健康的老年犬隻血壓參考值，並探討年齡、品種、性別、體重與體型對血壓的影響，以作為處理老年犬疾病的參考依據。參與此次血壓調查臨床上健康的犬隻共計207隻，其中136隻為研究組之健康老年犬，71隻為對照組的健康年輕犬。健康老年犬之血壓分佈為157.9±24.4 mmHg，健康年輕犬的血壓分佈為150.8±22.3 mmHg。老年犬族群之血壓分佈在統計上顯著的高於年輕犬族群（P＝0.04）；在206.7 mmHg以上時定義為高血壓，低於109.1mmHg為低血壓。血壓隨年齡的增長呈現波狀的形式變化。不論在老年犬族群或年輕犬族群Shih-Tzu都呈現較高的血壓，但未達顯著的差異。性別、體重及體型與對血壓分部皆無顯著影響。

This survey aimed to establish blood pressure (BP) references of clinically healthy geriatric dogs using ultrasonic Doppler flow detector, and to investigate the effects of age, breed, sex, body weight, and body condition on blood pressures. Two hundreds and seven clinically healthy dogs were studied. One hundred and thirty-six healthy geriatric dogs and seventy-one healthy adult dogs were measured. The mean BP of geriatric dogs was 157.9±24.4 mmHg. The mean BP of healthy adult dogs was 150.8±22.3 mmHg. Systolic BP measurements were significantly higher in the geriatrics compared to the adult dogs (P = 0.04). Systolic BP measurements higher than 206.7 mmHg were defined as hypertension, and those less than 109.1 mmHg were defined as hypotension. Blood pressure measurements were found to be waved with age. Shih-Tzu presented higher BP than other breeds in both geriatric and adult dogs, however it was not statisitically significant. Sex, body weight, and body condition did not affect BP distributions.
