Abstract:coronary flow and is an important predictor of coronary microvascular function. A variety of environmental stimuli have been shown to affect CFR but little is known about the genetic component of CFR. To characterise the genetics of CFR we initially measured in vivo blood pressure (BP) and ex vivo cardiac phenotypes including CFR in two inbred rat strains, Brown Norway (BN) and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) which is a genetic model for hypertension and microvascular dysfunction. We then studied BP and c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
