Abstract

Three experimental animal models are described and analysed. In these models the heart is not targeted primarily,but the primary disease eventually afects the cardiovascular system significantly : diabetes mellitus,renal failure,and dysfunctional autonomicinnervation.

Rat models of these three conditions are described in detail,with special focus on methodological aspects and experimental results obtained in our laboratory.
