[Effect of captopril on hemodynamics and physical exertion tolerance in patients with arterial hypertension]. / Vliianie kaptoprila na gemodinamiku i tolerantnost' k fizicheskoi nagruzke u bol'nykh arterial'noi gipertoniei.

ABSTRACT

The hypotensive effect of captopril was assessed in patients with essential hypertension. Captopril-induced fall in arterial blood pressure was shown to be due to a decrease in total peripheral resistance. Treatment with captopril improved considerably physical stress tolerance, its combinations with a diuretic agent being particularly effective.
