Is Hypocoagulability Associated with Pulmonary Hypertension in Dogs? | VETgirl Veterinary Continuing Education Podcasts

VETgirl Veterinary Continuing Education Podcasts

In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we discuss hypocoagulability in dogs with pulmonary hypertension. For quick review, pulmonary hypertension, which we will refer to as “PH”, is an abnormal increase in pulmonary pressure and can be caused from cardiac, respiratory, or systemic conditions. In human medicine, both hyper- and hypocoagulability have been associated with PH, but no veterinary studies have been performed on this topic... until now! So today we will be reviewing the AJVR retrospective study by Min et al entitled “Pulmonary Hypertension is Associated with Hypocoagulability in Dogs: A Retrospective Analysis of 66 Cases (2013-2021).”
