Open evaluation of labetalol in the treatment of angina pectoris occurring in hypertensive patients. 1979

E M Besterman, and M Spencer

1 In nine hypertensive subjects with angina pectoris, labetalol diminished the incidence of chest pain occurring spontaneously or induced by exercise. 2 Labetalol lowered BP in all subjects. 3 Exercise tolerance at maximum levels was increased by labetalol. 4 Improved cardiac function by labetalol may be related to decreased afterload on the left ventricle, and diminished oxygen utilization by the myocardium.

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.

D004562	Electrocardiography	Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY.	12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
