Arterial pressure recording with an implanted fluid filled catheter showing a sample of blood pressure change in response to vasoactive compounds in a conscious C57BL/6J mouse. (A) An increase in both the aortic pressure (AOP), (B) mean arterial pressure (MAP) and (C) a decrease in heart rate (HR) are noted with the administration of phenylephrine (PE). (D) A decrease in AOP and (E) MAP with (F) an increased HR are noted with the administration of sodium nitroprusside (SNP).
