Oral converting enzyme inhibitor in malignant hypertension.
Malignant hypertension, which developed in a 9-year-old boy after an episode of haemolytic uraemic syndrome, could not be controlled with antihypertensive agents. However, treatment with oral converting enzyme inhibitor (captopril) was effective in controlling the blood pressure and it averted bilateral nephrectomy. No adverse effects from the drug were noted.
متن کاملAcute and chronic treatment of severe and malignant hypertension with the oral angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril.
The patients with severe and 10 with accelerated or malignant hypertension were treated with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril. Captopril acutely reduced blood pressure in all patients except two who had suppressed plasma renin activity. Four patients with encephalopathy showed immediate improvement after the first dose. Two patients could be withdrawn from nitroprusside inf...
متن کاملConverting enzyme inhibitor improves forearm reactive hyperemia in essential hypertension.
Endothelial function is known to be impaired in essential hypertensive patients. In this study, we examined whether antihypertensive drugs improve forearm vasodilatory response to reactive hyperemia in 26 patients with essential hypertension (62 +/- 2 years) without diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, or cerebrovascular disease. Antihypertensive drugs were never given or ...
متن کاملEssential hypertension: effect of an oral inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme.
Captopril, a specific oral inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme, was given to 18 unselected patients with moderate essential hypertension. Mean blood pressure fell by 14.5% at the maximum dose given, and this fall was significantly correlated with the initial plasma renin activity. The main fall in blood pressure occurred two hours after the first dose of captopril. These results suggest ...
متن کاملMonotherapy of essential hypertension with a converting-enzyme inhibitor.
The antihypertensive effectiveness of twice-daily dosing with the converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, was examined in a multicenter study of 294 patients (181 white, 111 black, two oriental) with essential hypertension whose supine diastolic blood pressure (SDBP) was 95 mm Hg or higher after 4 to 6 weeks of preliminary placebo administration. In this double-blind study, the patients were ra...
