Arterial hypertension is one of most common diseases in the world with variable etiologies, yet the exact cause cannot always be found. It is classified as essential (primary) or secondary hypertension. Unlike secondary hypertension, primary hypertension has no known cause. Animal models have been used to investigate the pathophysiology of the disease and for testing new treatment strategies. Using animal models to better understand the etiology, prevention, and treatment of hypertension depends on their accuracy for representing human disease. Current challenges in this field include the development of models mimicking the common hypertensive syndromes and the development of new prevention and treatment strategies. Animal models may be beneficial to address these challenges. While choosing the appropriate model of hypertension, scientists need to choose between small and large animal models. The research scope and objectives, experimental expenses, animal welfare, and practical suitability should all be considered. The advantages and disadvantages of these models need to be assessed in detail in order to select the best model. From the many models of arterial hypertension, it can be distinguish different models of essential and secondary arterial hypertension. Of the essential arterial hypertension three main methods are noteworthy, pharmacological, environmental conditions, and genetic model. As for secondary hypertension, it can be challenged by physical methods such as renal artery clipping or its microembolization. |
