ABSTRACT. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamics of the anesthetic isoflurane in healthy cats given angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI). The 7 healthy young cats and 3 old cats were received placebo or enalapril 0.5 mg/kg orally. The change in systolic arterial pressure from the baseline to 30 min postanesthesia in the ACEI group was significantly higher than in the placebo group (mean ± SD: -39 ± 13% vs. -17 ± 12%, respectively). The present study indicated that general anesthesia may induce hypotension after the administration of an ACEI.
