Cardiovascular Preclinical Services

Overview

We offer a highly experienced staff of scientists led by Dr. Howard Jacob and Dr. Richard Roman in cardiovascular studies. Along with expert scientific assistance in protocol development, our scientists offer an array of skills that include specialized blood pressure measurements in rats during cardiovascular preclinical studies.

Specialized Blood Pressure Measurements

• Telemetry for continuous measurement of blood pressure in freely moving animals during a chronic drug testing protocol.
• Femoral catheter implant for direct measurement of blood pressure changes during acute drug testing.
• Tail cuff for non-invasive measurement of blood pressure during acute drug testing.
• Statistical analysis of data.
• Data interpretation by experts in cardiovascular and renal physiology.
• Follow-up consulting.
