When tiny vessels in the lungs become narrowed or blocked, it becomes harder for blood to flow through and can cause the heart to weaken or fail.<\/p>\n<p>Now, researchers at the <a href=\"https:\/\/missouri.edu\/\">University of Missouri<\/a> have found that identifying respiratory diseases causing pulmonary hypertension can lead to improved health outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Carol Reinero, professor of small animal internal medicine in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cvm.missouri.edu\/\">College of Veterinary Medicine<\/a>, was a member of a team that studied 47 dogs with pulmonary hypertension caused by respiratory disease. The goal was to better characterize the types of underlying respiratory disorders in dogs causing high blood pressure in their lungs and to identify prognostic variables.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnderstanding the diseases that contribute to pulmonary hypertension can lead to more tailored therapy approaches and help identify which medications are likely to be most beneficial,\u201d Reinero said. \u201cAs many of these dogs have multiple issues, a thorough evaluation is needed to address the underlying problems causing the pulmonary hypertension.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19245\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19245\" class=\"wp-image-19245\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/combined-x-rays-BC-updated-300x143.jpg\" alt=\"tracheal collapse\" width=\"800\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/combined-x-rays-BC-updated-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/combined-x-rays-BC-updated-1024x487.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/combined-x-rays-BC-updated-768x365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/combined-x-rays-BC-updated-1536x730.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/combined-x-rays-BC-updated.jpg 2036w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19245\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the respiratory conditions that can cause pulmonary hypertension is tracheal collapse, where the dog\u2019s windpipe becomes narrow and leads to coughing and breathing issues.

Recent research by the same investigators found that tadalafil, the active drug in Cialis, effectively treats pulmonary hypertension in dogs by dilating pulmonary vessels. The medicine, which is consumed by dogs in the form of a pill, only needs to be taken once a day and was the sole predictor of survival in the study.<\/p>\n<h3>The Goal<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to make a difference by improving the quality of care for animals,\u201d Reinero said. \u201cDoing clinically relevant research means not just helping individual dogs, but also finding new knowledge that other vets can ultimately use to improve the quality of care for dogs worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Read More<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cPulmonary hypertension secondary to respiratory disease and\/or hypoxia in
