Fig. 4 A, Antihypertensive treatment of SHR: treated versus untreated SHR's systolic blood pressure. Open circles represent treated SHR host, open triangles represent untreated SHR host, and filled symbols represent directly measured arterial pressure. B, Treated versus untreated SHR's mean transverse aortic diameter as measured by MRI. Symbols as in A; filled symbols represent visually measured aortic diameters at harvest.
