Enalapril versus combined enalapril and nadolol treatment: Effects on blood pressure, heart rate, humoral variables, and plasma potassium at rest and during exercise in hypertensive patients
Abstract:The effect of enalapril alone and in combination with nadolol on resting and exercising blood pressure, heart rate, plasma renin activity, aldosterone, noradrenaline, and potassium levels was studied in 10 hypertensive patients (diastolic blood pressure between 95 and 114 mmHg). Patients received placebo for 4 weeks, enalapril (mean daily dose 24.5 mg) for 8 weeks, and nadolol, 40 mg once daily, was added for the remaining 8 weeks of the study. Exercise testing (modified Bruce, treadmill) was conducted at the … Show more
