Veterinary Blood Pressure Society
The Veterinary Blood Pressure Society was formed out of a merger between the IBPF (International Blood Pressure Forum) and the Consensus Group on Hypertension at the ACVIM meeting in Dallas in May 2002 and has resulted from the proliferation of interest in the importance of high blood pressure in companion animals over the last few years.
The minutes of our first meeting in Dallas are included with this letter. This subject is really in its infancy with large gaps in our knowledge at the present time as was evident when the ACVIM Concensus Group on Hypertension reported its findings and to the ACVIM Forum in May 2001.
