Vascular inflammation in cardiovascular diseases is recognized to be linked with immune cell activation. Recruitment of immune cells into the vessel wall is an early step in angiotensin II-induced vascular dysfunction and arterial hypertension. Exploring the role of monocytes and macrophages in angiotensin II-induced hypertension and vascular inflammation in mouse models highlights the importance of these pathophysiological processes. Here we describe our routinely used protocols concerning angiotensin II-induced hypertension, assessment of blood pressure, vascular function, and immune cell infiltration.
