Long-term Oral Diuretic Therapy

چکیده
Hypertensive patients were treated with either chlorthalidone or frusemide for periods of two to four months. Reduction in blood pressure was seen with chlorthalidone but not with frusemide. This hypotensive effect appeared to be independent of the natriuretic effect. A significant reduction in total exchangeable potassium (KE) was seen with both agents, but no patient showed adverse symptoms or signs. There was no alteration in maximal urinary concentration or acidification, or in intra-

To assess the mechanisms responsible for the cardiovascular homeostasis in this condition, we studied the blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), total plasma catecholamines (CA), and plasma renin activity (PRA) responses after 20 minutes of 60 degrees head-up tilt in four groups ...
