Abstract

1. In arterial hypertension, aortic wave reflections contribute to determining central systolic and pulse pressures. The present study assessed the central pressure alterations at the level of the common carotid artery following 1 month treatment with perindopril or atenolol and investigated during the 8 h following drug intake. 2. Twenty patients suffering from permanent hypertension were included after a 4 week run-in placebo period in a double-blind, randomized cross-over study comparing the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor perindopril with the beta-blocker atenolol during a 4 week treatment period. 3. Before and during the 8 h after drug intake, serial measurements included brachial artery systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP, respectively; mercury sphygmomanometer), carotid artery SBP and pulse pressure (PP; applanation tonometry), aortic pulse wave velocity (Complior; Colson, Les Lilas, France) and arterial wave reflections from the aorta (applanation tonometry; Sphygmocor; PWV Medical, Sydney, NSW, Australia). 4. Both treatments decreased brachial and carotid artery SBP, DBP and PP. Heart rate and pulse wave velocity decreased following atenolol (P < 0.001). Pulse wave velocity was reduced sli...Continue Reading

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.
