The treatment of hypertension with verapamil
Abstract
In a randomised double blind cross over trial, verapamil produced significant dose dependent reductions in blood pressure in 23 patients. There were minimal side-effects. All patients had some contraindication to the use of beta blocker therapy, and the role of verapmil in this situation is discussed.
