Resumo
Hypertension is one of the leading causes of disability or death due to stroke, heart attack and kidney failure. Because
the etiology of essential hypertension is not known and may be multifactorial, the use of experimental animal models
has provided valuable information regarding many aspects of the disease, which include etiology, pathophysiology,
complications and treatment. The models of hypertension are various, and in this review, we provide a brief overview
of the most widely used animal models, their features and their importance.
