Pulmonary hypertension (PH) secondary to BM is poorly described.<h4>Objectives</h4>Dogs with BM will be older but of any somatotype, and increased expiratory effort, ≥1 comorbid disease, and PH will be more common than in dogs without BM.<h4>Animals</h4>Client-owned dogs (n = 210) evaluated for respiratory signs.<h4>Methods</h4>Medical records of dogs with paired inspiratory: expiratory-breath-hold computed tomography, tracheobronchoscopy, or both between January 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
