We investigated the hypotensive and diuretic effects of diltiazem and hydralazine in conscious, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and their counterpart, Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY).rally administered diltiazem induced dose-dependent hypotension both in SHR (10-60 mg/kg) and in WKY (30-100 mg/kg) and the effects were more pronounced in SHR than in WKY.
