[Pindolol as an antihypertensive agent]. 1977

W F Pinggera, and P Fitscha, and H K Stummvoll, and A Wolf, and P Dorda

26 hypertensive patients groupded according to the severity-index and the WHO-index were treated with pindolol (monotherapy, 15 mg daily). The response of blood pressure depression was statistically significant, although not always sufficient when judged by clinical parameters. Plasma renin activity responded variably to the treatment in different patients and different groups. In 18 patients a statistically significant increase of serum potassium could be observed. No major side effects of therapy were encountered.

D010869 Pindolol A moderately lipophilic beta blocker (ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS). It is non-cardioselective and has intrinsic sympathomimetic actions, but little membrane-stabilizing activity. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmocopoeia, 30th ed, p638) Prindolol,LB-46,Visken,LB 46,LB46
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.
