Identification of genes involved in complex cardiovascular disease traits has proven challenging. Inbred animal models can facilitate genetic studies of disease traits. The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) is an inbred model of hypertension that exists in several closely related but genetically distinct lines.
