Journal ArticleDOI
Haemodynamic and humoral responses to chronic ketanserin treatment in essential hypertension.
TL;DR: The data indicate that ketanserin induces arteriolar dilatation, possibly related to an alpha-1-antagonistic action and to a reduced circulating angiotensin II concentration, and an increase in cardiac output limits the hypotensive effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Captopril during pregnancy

Journal ArticleDOI
Antihypertensive action and serotonin-induced platelet aggregation during long-term ketanserin treatment in hypertensive patients.
TL;DR: It is suggested that long-term treatment with ketanserin reduces blood pressure; whereas 5-HT receptor inhibition could not be demonstrated when assessed by platelet aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of opioid involvement in the hemodynamic respiratory and humoral responses to exercise.
Jan A. Staessen,R Fiocchi,Roger Bouillon,Robert Fagard,Paul Lijnen,E Moerman,A.F. De Schaepdryver,A Amery +7 more
TL;DR: During exhaustive graded exercise of short duration opioidergic inhibition of the pituitary-adrenocortical axis is probably not sustained, and the hypothesis that endogenous opioids are involved in various hemodynamic, respiratory, and hormonal responses to this type of exercise is not supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progressive attenuation of the carotid baroreflex control of blood pressure and heart rate during exercise
TL;DR: The effect of supine bicycle exercise on the carotid baroreceptor reflex was investigated in 10 normal volunteers who were studied at rest and during moderate and severe exercise, i.e., at 33% and 66% of their previously determined maximal exercise capacity.
