Is there a link between estimated physical activity and mean arterial pressure in individuals with and without hypertension?
The observance of a loss of anal responsiveness to suture and of a decrease in mean arterial pressure or heart rate below the defined values after injection, together with the observance of positive response to the HD test prior to injection and with the presence of residual motor block during recovery phase, was considered indicative of successful epidural injection and correct needle position; therefore, dogs which fulfilled all these conditions but showed EPW neither prior to nor after epidural injection were considered false negatives.

Less frequent brushing was associated with elevated total cholesterol and less frequent flossing was associated with elevated mean arterial pressure. There was a trend toward an association between less frequent preventive dental care and higher mean arterial pressure, though this association did not achieve statistical significance (p=0.06).

In the EUC group, 24 hr systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) significantly decreased by 5, 3, and 3 mm Hg, respectively from baseline at 6 weeks (p<0.05), but were no longer significant at 12 weeks.
