Chronic hypertension is a major predisposing factor for stroke in humans. It has recently been shown that long-term inhibition of nitric oxide synthase activity causes a gradual time-dependent increase in arterial blood pressure in rats. We used this new animal model of chronic hypertension to study the occurrence and spatial features of infarcts in the central nervous system.
