Novel antihypertensive agents

Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2004
Coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease continue to be the leading causes of illness and death among adults from developed countries. Their prevalence is strongly related to the effects of many different risk factors, including high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, dyslipidaemia and diabetes.

Newer antihypertensive agents

Postgraduate Medicine, 1991
Three recent additions to the list of antihypertensive agents have been approved for use as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs. Betaxolol hydrochloride (Kerlone) maintains its effect for 24 hours, making it a true once-a-day beta blocker. Penbutolol sulfate (Levatol) is as effective as other beta blockers and diuretics.

Antihypertensive agents

Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, 1999
Fifty million Americans suffer from hypertension. During the perioperative period, hypertension is a frequent finding owing to a variety of mechanisms including anxiety, pain, and preexisting conditions. This article explores the pharmaceutical agents commonly used in the treatment of hypertension. Particular attention is directed to drugs administered

Nephroprotection by Antihypertensive Agents

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1994
Arterial hypertension is one of the few factors confirmed to accelerate the development of renal failure. Conversely, several studies have documented that systematic reduction of the blood pressure slows the progression of renal failure. It is postulated that 24-h reduction of the blood pressure should be achieved, best controlled by ambulatory blood ...

Nitrendipine as an antihypertensive agent

European Heart Journal, 1987
A double-blind, stratified and randomized multicentre trial was carried out to compare the antihypertensive efficacy of nitrendipine with that of propranolol. The dose of nitrendipine was 5-20 mg b.d., and of propranolol, 40-120 mg b.d. With nitrendipine (N = 137), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) fell from 156 +/- 1 to ...

Ouabain Antagonists as Antihypertensive Agents

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2005
The evidence that high levels of endogenous ouabain (EO), a closely related isomer of ouabain, are implicated in human hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy and failure stimulated the pharmacological research for developing novel anti-hypertensive agents active as ouabain antagonists.

Clonidine: A new antihypertensive agent

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1971
Abstract Intravenous administration of clonidine in hypertensive patients resulted in a short, hypertensive response followed by a prolonged reduction of both systolic and diastolic pressure. The antihypertensive response was associated with a decrease of total forearm blood flow, while the muscle blood flow of the calf was unchanged or moderately ...

L-Arginine as an Antihypertensive Agent

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992
L-Arginine, the precursor of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF)/nitric oxide (NO), was administered intravenously in five patients with essential hypertension, one with renovascular hypertension, one with primary aldosteronism, and one with Cushing's syndrome. During the administration, the mean arterial pressure decreased concomitantly with an
