Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effect of propranolol and acebutolol therapy on serum lipoproteins was studied in thirty patients (mean age 43.9 +/- 8.7 years) with essential hypertension and/or stable myocardial ischaemia. Patients received six weeks therapy with propranolol (80-160 mg per day) and acebutolol (400-800 mg per day) each in random order and were changed over from one to the other beta-blocker after 6 weeks therapy. On propranolol treatment there was no significant effect on total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol but the concentration of serum triglycerides (94.2 +/- 37.7 to 129.1 +/- 41.2 mg/dl) and VLDL cholesterol (18.9 +/- 7.8 to 26.1 +/- 8.1 mg/dl) significantly increased, concentration of HDL cholesterol (49.5 +/- 9.4 to 42.4 +/- 8.7 mg/dl) significantly decreased (p less than 0.01). Atherogenic index also worsened from 4.17 +/- 0.48 to 5.15 +/- 0.54 (p less than 0.05) on propranolol therapy. Acebutolol therapy, on the other hand, produced no significant change in the concentration of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and VLDL cholesterol.
