The Doppler ultrasonic recording technique was used to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressures indirectly in renal hypertensive cats. The accuracy of the method was evaluated by comparing indirect blood pressures from one leg of a cat with direct pressure measurements from the other leg. A li...
