The electrical resistance of the lungs, intercostal muscles, and kidneys in hypertensive ISIAH rats

Аннотация

A comparative study of the bioelectrical impedance of normotensive and hypertensive animal tissues was carried out. It was found that the electrical resistance of kidneys, lungs, and intercostal muscles in rats with arterial hypertension (ISIAH strain) was significantly lower than in normotensive Wistar rats, which indicates that the volume of circulating blood and the total amount of fluid were increased in animals with arterial hypertension. The fact that the resistance of the conducting medium is decreased in arterial hypertension should be taken into account in the analysis of cardioelectric potentials on the body surface and electrocardiograms in conventional leads, as well as for the purposes of the development of heterogeneous torso models and for verification of recovery algorithms for electrical properties of chest tissues.
