Abstract
Background— Previous studies have demonstrated the development of cardiac fibrosis in aldosterone (Aldo)–salt hypertensive rats. Our aim was to determine the effects of Aldo and the Aldo receptor antagonist eplerenone (Epl) on in vivo mechanical properties of the carotid artery using echo-tracking system.Keywords
