[Treatment of hypertension with propranolol in combination with other antihypertensive agents].

In two separated treatment groups of 18 and 30 hypertensive patients of the clinical degrees of severity II and III after insufficient propranolol monotherapy a combined propranolol/hydralazine or propranolol/hydrochlorothiazide treatment, respectively, was performed during several months. Under the combination therapy on average a clear increase of the effect of the beta-receptor blocker on the systolic as well as on the diastolic blood pressure is achieved. There were no essential side-effects. In accordance with modern opinions in the therapy of hypertension the combination of propranolol with a peripheral vasodilator and/or a salidiuretic should find a wide area of use, above all in hypertensive patients who are diastolically more difficult to be stabilised. The production of an adequate combination preparation is to be taken into consideration.

[Comparison of various screening methods for the diagnosis of chronic ischemic heart disease].

The screening phase of a multifactorial intervention study which is carried out under the direction of the WHO and the aim of which is the influence on mild forms of hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and slightly disturbed glucose tolerance was supplemented by an electrocardiogram after work under the conditions of screening. The questionnaire contained in the investigation program for the statistical establishment of a typical angina pectoris after work according to Rose and the modified electrocardiographic test after work were tested concerning their evidence in the early recognition of a coronary sclerosis. As reference test served the Watt-step-test recommended by a group of experts of the WHO. An extensive correlation between screening after work and Watt-step-test was found. Questionnaire according to Rose and gradual load, however, had a smaller correspondence. The result of other investigations was that the distribution of the factors of risk does not give any clear reference to the existence of a latent coronary insufficiency.
