[Acebutolol in the treatment of arterial hypertension. Clinical study]
Abstract
Fifty hypertensive patients were given a beta-blocker, acebutolol, alone or in association with other hypotensive drugs, in an open therapeutic trial lasting for a year. The results of treatment were considered to be good or moderate in 74 p.cent of the patients. Treatment failures were recorded in 26 p.cent. The mean dosage of acebutolol was 10 mg/kg (maximum 22 mg/kg) and the drug was very well tolerated. Hypertension with an increased cardiac index and reno-vascular hypertension with increased plasma renin activity are good indications for acebutolol.
