KBI has a cohort of monkeys with spontaneous hypertension identified by the measurement of blood pressure (BP) with High Definition Oscillometry (HDO). Through the screening of a large cohort of monkeys, KBI has established the normal range of BP and diagnostic values for hypertension in monkeys:

·  Normal Systolic Pressure: 110-120 mmHg

·  Hypertension: Systolic  >140 mmHg 

                        Diastolic > 90 mmHg
