Abstract excerpt
Recent progress in molecular genetics has raised expectations that the application of powerful new techniques to established animal models of hereditary hypertension may provide important new insights in the genetic basis of human hypertension. Whereas these methods provide exciting opportunities, we shall have to revise many traditional and established strategies used in hypertension research to recognize their...
