The pressure is rising

 

 

 
This virtual problem is about high blood pressure in a dog. As a vet student, you decide to do something, especially, learn about the renin - angiotensin system and how it affects the blood pressure.

Teaching aims are:

  • the definition of hypertension, and why it is dangerous,
  • how the RAS system works and affects blood pressure,
  • why the basic sciences are important during vet school.
