Antihypertensive and renal effects of enalapril and slow-release verapamil in essential hypertension. A double-blind, randomized study.

The renal, metabolic and antihypertensive effects of enalapril (E) and slow-release verapamil (V) were compared in a 2-month double-blind crossover trial in 22 patients with newly discovered essential hypertension. The glomerular filtration rate and renal vascular resistance were unaltered: renal blood flow was slightly decreased by V. Serum Ca2+ increased and Na+ excretion declined after V. Serum lipids, glucose, and erythrocyte electrolytes were unchanged. Blood pressure (BP) was lower with E after half the maximum dosage compared with V, but similar BP reductions were obtained after 2 months with the maximum dosage.

Long-term blood pressure control with pindolol given once daily.

The antihypertensive effect of beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs has been documented in a number of papers [10--13] and over the last 10 yr beta-receptor blockade has become a more and more frequent primary therapy for hypertension. During this time, a number of different beta-blockers with various degrees of selectivity, potency and intrinsic sympathomimetic effect have come into use. There have also been attempts to reduce the number of daily doses in beta-adrenoceptor blocking therapy while maintaining the antihypertensive effect [5]. Pindolol (Viskén) is a beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent with intrinsic sympathomimetic effect and is characterized by high potency and long duration.
