Cardiac failure and hypertension

Rat models of hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy and failure.

1. Introduction markedly increases with age [1] yet most models of hypertension and heart failure only use young adult rats. Animals have been used by humans for centuries to Animal models of ageing have been recently reviewed [2]. understand their own biology. In cardiovascular research, Thirdly, the development of atherosclerosis is very unusual animal models have allowed the study of cardiov...

Effects of Short-term Renovascular Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes on Cardiac Functions in Rats

Background: The cardiac effects simultaneously occurring during experimental hypertension and diabetes have rarely been investigated. This study aimed at examining the effects of short-term renovascular hypertension and type 2 diabetes on cardiac functions. Methods: Five groups (7 each) of male Sprague-Dawley rats, including a control group, a diabetes (induced by Streptozocin and Nicotinamide)...
