Hemodynamnie Effects of Pargyline in Hypertensive Patients
نویسنده
چکیده
T HE use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors in the treatment of hypertension has been limited until recently, mainly because the available compounds had a high incidence of accompanying side reactions.' However, the non-hydrazine MAO inhibitor, pargyline, appears to be an effective drug with a relatively low incidence of untoward effects. Clinical studies have substantiated that pargyline is a potent antihypertensive agent.2 4 Nonetheless, the evaluation of a new hypotensive drug is incomplete without an assessment of the hemodynamic characteristics of the compound. It is the purpose of this report to describe the cardiorenal hemodynamic response to pargyline in hypertensive patients.
