Haemodynamic Responses to Selective Vagal Nerve Stimulation under Enalapril Medication in Rats
by Mortimer Gierthmuehlen, Thomas Stieglitz, Josef Zentner, Dennis T. T. Plachta Selective vagal nerve stimulation (sVNS) has been demonstrated to lower blood pressure (BP) in rats without causing major side effects. This method might be adapted for the treatment of therapy-resistant hypertension in patients. Converting enzyme inhibitors (CEIs) are among the first drugs that are administered for arterial hypertension and prominently reduce BP primarily by interacting with the renin-angiotensin system of the kidneys. Beyond the reduction of BP, CEI have a positive effect on the survival rate after myocardial infarction; th...
