چکیده
Twenty-five patients with moderate essential hypertension (standing diastolic blood pressure 100-125 mmHg, phase 5) completed a single-blind placebo-controlled cross-over study comparing four week periods of treatment with atenolol 100 mg, metoprolol 100 mg, metoprolol durules 200 mg, slow-release oxprenolol 160 mg, and slow-release oxprenolol 320 mg respectively. All the drugs were significantly better than placebo at reducing resting blood pressure at 24 hours. Atenolol produced the greatest mean reduction of pressure and was the most effective drug for most patients, though the differences between atenolol and metoprolol durules were not statistically significant. These two drugs, however, were significantly more effective than the remainder. A similar ranking was seen with respect to the reduction of the blood pressure and heart rate response to exercise. None of the treatments had any significant effect on the patients' rating of perceived exertion during the exercise test.

Ambulatory blood pressure during once-daily randomised double-blind administration of atenolol, metoprolol, pindolol, and slow-release propranolol.
Intra-arterial ambulatory blood pressure was measured over 24 hours, in 34 patients with newly diagnosed hypertension, both before and after double-blind randomisation to treatment with atenolol (n=9), metoprolol (n=9), pindolol (n=9), or propranolol in its slow-release form (n=7). The dosage of each drug was adjusted at monthly clinic visits until satisfactory control of blood pressure was ach...

Three recently concluded large randomized clinical trials have compared the preventive effects of diuretic agents and beta-blockers in the treatment of approximately 22,000 subjects with hypertension. In the Medical Research Council trial, bendrofluazide (10 mg daily) was compared with a dose of propranolol (as much as 240 mg daily), a nonselective beta-blocker without intrinsic sympathomimetic...
