Life quality in patients under hypotensive treatment.

The authors studied the life quality in a group of 74 patients--31 males and 43 females--affected with essential hypertension of World Health Organization I or II degree. All patients began treatment with frusemide at a dose of 25 mg once a day. The 35 non-responsive patients to frusemide were then treated, by random selection, with captopril at a dose of 25 mg twice a day, or nadolol at a dose of 80 mg once a day, for three months. The results show no significant differences on the hypotensive effect with either drug; in view of the incidence of side-effects of the two drugs, treatment with captopril is clearly better tolerated by the patients.

Controlled trial on three beta-blockers: antihypertensive efficacy and effect on the hypertensive heart disease.

Treatment of 66 hypertensive patients with three different beta-blockers (atenolol 100 mg once a day; oxprenolol 80 mg twice a day; nadolol 80 mg once a day) for six months resulted in a significant reduction in blood pressure and heart rate, the maximum with nadolol, a significant amelioration in pre-ejection period/left ventricular ejection time ratio expressing the haemodynamic performance of the left ventricle with atenolol and nadolol, and a significant reduction left ventricular hypertrophy as expressed by the Romhilt-Estes index with all three drugs, but especially with nadolol.

Clinical pharmacology of loop diuretics: a comparative study.

The authors performed two studies to clarify the characteristics, analogies and differences of three loop diuretics (furosemide, bumetanide and piretanide) aiming at more precise indications for their clinical use. In the first study, they compared bumetanide and piretanide by the method of compensated diuresis; in the second, they tested the three loop diuretics' efficacy in refractory ascites. The authors demonstrated that with the three substances analogous results were obtained when administered at equivalent doses and that only intensive diuresis was able to resolve refractory ascites.
