Mouse Phenotyping Core: Telemetry blood pressure

Two telemetry recording suites are dedicated to this service located in the Vivarium Facilities. They house two telemetry systems (DSI) with capacity to monitor and record hemodynamic parameters (systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure, heart rate, and activity) of up to 43 mice simultaneously in conscious and unrestrained conditions. 

Monitor Parameters:

1. Arterial blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, mean)
2. Heart Rate
3. Motor activity
4. Baroreceptor reflex sensitivity
