Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of 4 beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs on blood pressure and on exercise tachycardia were compared in a within-patient study of patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension. Twelve patients were treated with propranolol, practolol and atenolol and 7 of the same patients also received oxprenolol. Each patient received each drug separately, withdrawing each drug before starting the next, and each patient was titrated to the lowest attainable blood pressure and heart rate with each compound. All 4 drugs caused reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and in the heart rate induced by exercise. The maximum reduction by each drug in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure was the same. There were small but significant differences in the effects on heart rate between those drugs which had intrinsic sympathomimetic activity and those which did not have this property.
