Several rat models of pulmonary hypertension have been developed.
However, up to now, it has been difficult to monitor for long periods
of time pulmonary arterial pressure. The goal of the present study
was to develop a telemetry system allowing chronic monitoring of
pulmonary arterial pressure in freely moving rats.
