Mechanism of postarrhythmic renal vasoconstriction in the anesthetized dog.
TL;DR: It is concluded that postarrhythmic renal vasconstriction is due to adrenal catecholamines reaching the kidneys through an adreno-renal vascular network and that the response requires intact vagi.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Moderate alcohol consumption does not change the marked stroke risk reduction with losartan compared to atenolol in high-risk hypertensives, while the risk of stroke tends to increase with high intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiotensin Receptor Blocker and Dihydropyridine Calcium Channel Blocker Combinations: An Emerging Strategy in Hypertension Therapy
Suzanne Oparil,Michael A. Weber +1 more
TL;DR: The rationale for using CCB/ARB combinations in patients with hypertension is discussed, which has been recently investigated in clinical trials wherein amlodipine was combined with olmesartan medoxomil or valsartan.
Journal ArticleDOI
