The effects of diltiazem on hemodynamics, plasma catecholamine and plasma renin activity were studied during treadmill exercise test in 9 cases with moderate essential hypertension. Diltiazem of 120 mg/day was orally administered for 4 weeks. At maximum exercise, significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (-32 mmHg), heart rate (-16/min), pressure-rate product (-7,883 mmHg/min), plasma norepinephrine (-195 ng/L) and plasma epinephrine (-11 ng/L) were observed; while, diastolic blood pressure, ST depression and plasma renin activity showed no significant change. Also, a significant correlation between systolic blood pressure and plasma norepinephrine (r = 0.57, p < 0.001), especially after diltiazem therapy (r = 0.68, p < 0.001), was observed. These findings indicated that diltiazem can reduce the secretion of catecholamine from the sympathetic nerves during exercise in patients with essential hypertension.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
