Oral converting enzyme inhibitor in malignant hypertension.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

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 کاملEffects of captopril (SQ 14,225) in a patient with primary pulmonary hypertension.
In a 33-year-old patient with severe primary pulmonary hypertension, the acute administration of the angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor captopril (SQ 14,225) induced a rise in cardiac output, and a fall in both pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance. Subsequent chronic oral administration of captopril induced only transient clinical improvement, and the patient died. Captopril may neve...
