✦ Synopsis

Transgenic experimentation has become a crucial part of hypertension and atherosclerosis research, and is growing more important in several other areas of cardiovascular disease. It has recently made a particular contribution to understanding the role of the renin-angiotensin system in controlling hypertension. The study of blood pressure regulation, cardiac hypertrophy, atherogenesis and thrombosis are also benefiting from the transgenic approach.
