Abstract

The evaluation of special literature shows that in recent years a considerable change took place in the recommendations concerning the medicamentous therapy of high blood pressure. According to this the beta-receptor blockers took the first place, whereas the Rauwolfia-preparations increasingly receded into the background. An analysis of the consumption of antihypertensive drugs in the County of Leipzig resulted in the fact that the newer scientific knowledge is only very slowly followed in practice; thus the Rauwolfia-preparations are still at the top in the prescription of antihypertensive drugs. The results show that increased troubles are necessary to transfer scientific knowledge more quickly into practice. The ways to this are shown.
