Adverse effect of chronic alcohol ingestion on cardiac performance in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
We have compared the cardiac performance of four groups of rats: normotensive control rats (NCR) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) not drinking alcohol, and NCR and SHR drinking 20% alcohol (NCR-A and SHR-A, respectively), over a period of 6-9 months.
