Abstract
Using microcatheter blood pressure telemetry, the pressure-lowering effect of prindolol (Visken), a beta-blocking drug, was tested at a dose of 10 mg three time daily by mouth in eight patients with essential hypertension (WHO stage II) and low to normal plasma-renin activities. After about ten days of treatment, the hypertensive reaction to everyday physical exercise (walking, climbing stairs, bicycle ergometry) was especially favourably affected. The average blood-pressure reduction at rest was 18.6/12.1 (systolic/diastolic), on stair climbing 41.5/17.2 mm Hg.
