Abstract
There were significant hemodynamic changes, mainly related to HR and indices of systolic function, following administration of dexmedetomidine in these healthy dogs. The changes also included decreases in systolic function and CO, as well as appearance of 'new' valvular regurgitation. Caution should be used when considering dexmedetomidine for sedation in dogs with, or being screened for, cardiovascular disease.
