[Spontaneous mortality and vascular lesions in 3 rat strains with different blood pressure levels].
We have observed a high and significant mortality in spontaneously hypertensive rats compared to normotensive and hypotensive controls, in the fifth generation. The hypertensive rats exhibited a high frequency of cerebral haemorrhage and periarteritis nodosa.
