Double-blind comparison of ketanserin with propranolol in hypertensive patients: interim report.

TL;DR: The change in BP after 3 months on K treatment was positively and independently related to both the initial BP and the concurrent changes in body weight, and that up to the 2nd month after randomization, systolic BP was significantly higher in the K than in the P group, whereas the differences in diastolic BP were mostly not significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of angiotensin antagonism at rest and during exercise in sodium-deplete man

TL;DR: Angiotensin II may have a role in the maintenance of P- in the supine sodium-deplete normal subjects, and stimulation of the renin angiotENSin system during physical exercise contributes to a minor extent to the increase in P- during exercise in these conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study of losartan and enalapril in patients with essential hypertension

TL;DR: The current study does not provide convincing evidence that addition of losartan to enalapril in the doses used further reduces BP, and both drugs lower BP to approximately the same extent, except for a more pronounced effect of en alapril on daytime ambulatory BP.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pulmonary circulation in essential systemic hypertension

TL;DR: It is concluded that there is neither a primary nor a secondary effect of systemic hypertension on the pulmonary vasculature in patients with World Health Organization stages I to II essential hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of maternal BMI and age in twin pregnancies on insulin resistance in the offspring

TL;DR: Novel findings suggest that in twin pregnancies, maternal factors are more important than fetoplacental factors in determining glucose-insulin metabolism in the offspring.
