Influence of selective and non-selective beta-adrenoreceptor blockade on the haemodynamic effect of adrenaline during combined antihypertensive drug therapy.

چکیده
1. Haemodynamic effects of adrenaline were studied in 27 hypertensive patients, succesively during treatment with propranol and metoprolol. In 12 patients beta-adrenoreceptor blockade was combined with diuretics and in 15 patients the blockade was combined with vasodilators. 2. During propranolol adrenaline caused a marked pressor effect: there was a considerable rise in systolic as well as in diastolic blood pressure and a marked fall in heart rate. During metoprolol there was only a slight rise in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate. 3. Forearm blood flow was decreased by adrenaline during propranolol and was increased during metoprolol. Calculated vascular resistance showed opposite changes. 4. Results were essentially the same when beta-adrenoreceptor blockade was combined with diuretics or with vasodilators and did not differ from previous results obtained in patients treated by blockade alone. 5. If adrenaline infusion can be considered as a model for acute stress, our results seem to favour a selective beta 1-adrenoreceptor blocking agent over a non-selective one, even when the blocker is combined with a diuretic or a vasodilator.

Formulation Design and Development of Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery Systems Containing a Hydrophobic Selective β1-Adrenoreceptor Blocker
The present work was aimed to design and develop self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) with the objective to overcome the problems associated with the delivery of talinolol, a hydrophobic and poorly bioavailable drugs having pH dependant solubility. The solubility of talinolol in various oils, surfactants, cosurfactants and aqueous phases were determined to identify and select the...

متن کاملSelective adrenergic beta-receptor blockade in the prevention of adrenaline-evoked ventricular arrhythmias in dogs anaesthetized with halothane in oxygen.
The effect of selective beta-receptor blockade on adrenaline-evoked ventricular arrhythmias was studied in atropinized dogs anaesthetized with halothane in oxygen. Cardiac beta-receptors were selectively blocked with ICI 50172, while the peripheral vascular beta-receptors were selectively blocked with H 35/25. ICI 50172 prevented adrenaline-evoked ventricular arrhythmias and the increase in sin...
