Severe brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome is associated with hypercoagulability in dogs [PDF]
We evaluated whether dogs with severe brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) developed a hypercoagulable state similar to people with obstructive sleep apnea. Five dogs with grade 3 BOAS were included as well as 5 healthy control Labrador Retrievers. Venous blood samples were collected from each dog for performance of thromboelastography and

Short-term changes in clinical status, cardiovascular function and heart rate variability after staphylectomy and alarplasty in French Bulldogs with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome [PDF]
Short-term effects of elongated soft palate correction on cardiovascular function and heart rate variability (HRV) were studied in eleven French Bulldogs with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS). The oxygen saturation (SpO2), blood pressure

Response to Two Standardized Exercise Tests in Dogs with Different Cephalic Biotypes [PDF]
Dogs are classified according to their total cephalic index into three biotypes: dolichocephalic, mesocephalic, and brachycephalic. The latter has emerged due to the deliberate selection of extreme phenotypic traits during breeding, which has intensified
