    Notes: Summary The acute hypotensive effect of captopril 25 mg was investigated in 26 hypertensive patients (11 with essential and 15 with renal arterial disease). Intra-arterial blood pressure was recorded continuously and arterial blood was sampled for renin, angiotensin I and II, aldosterone, kininase II, catecholamines and prostaglandins. Captopril led to an increase in plasma renin activity, active and total plasma renin concentration and angiotensin I, a decrease in plasma kininase II activity, angiotensin II, aldosterone, prostaglandins E2 and F2* and no change in plasma (nor)adrenaline, dopamine and inactive renin concentration. The hypotensive effect of captopril was related to the changes in plasma angiotensin II level and inversely to the change in prostaglandin E2; the correlation coefficients were low, respectively 0.61 and −0.44. It is likely that the acute hypotensive effect of captopril to some extent is related to changes in plasma angiotensin II and in prostaglandins E2 and F2*. There is no evidence for a role of the adrenergic systems in the hypotensive response.

    Notes: Summary Oral administration of felodipine to 10 patients with mild essential hypertension acutely reduced systemic vascular resistance (SVR) by 40% after 30 min. The change in SVR was significantly related to age (r=−0.74). The reduction in the intraarterially measured brachial artery pressure was limited to 15/13 mmHg, due to a rise in cardiac output (CO). The tachycardia was sustained for 90 min, as was an elevation of plasma noradrenaline. There was a transient increase in stroke volume, associated with a reduction in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, which was at least partly due to a reduced intravascular volume. In contrast to SVR, pulmonary vascular resistance was not affected by felodipine. Addition of intravascular metoprolol after 90 min decreased HR and CO and augmented SVR. The felodipine-induced rise in plasma renin activity (PRA) of 100% was completely reversed by metoprolol. Plasma angiotensin II (PA II) rose by 15% during felodipine, whereas plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) was not affected. Thus, actuely administered felodipine was a potent dilator of systemic but not of pulmonary arterioles, it stimulated the sympathetic nervous system, and reduced left ventricular filling pressure. The rise in plasma renin did not result in a higher plasma aldosterone level, due partly to reduced generation of angiotensin II.

    Influence of physical training on blood pressure, plasma renin, angiotensin and catecholamines in patients with ischaemic heart disease (1984)

    Notes: Summary Eighteen patients with ischaemic heart disease were trained for 3 months, three times a week. The effectiveness of the training programme was demonstrated by increases of 27% in peak oxygen uptake and 29% in exercise duration, and by a decrease in resting and submaximal heart rates. Blood pressure, however, was not significantly affected during the training period. At rest and at submaximal exercise plasma renin activity (PRA) was lower after training. Plasma angiotensin I concentration (PA I) and angiotensin II concentration (PA II) were not significantly affected. Plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), only measured at rest, was not significantly changed after the training period, while plasma norepinephrine (PNE) and epinephrine (PE) concentrations were significantly decreased, but only at high levels of exercise. A reduced sympathetic tone after training, suggested by the lower heart rates and the tendency to a decrease in PNE, is a likely explanation for the decrease in PRA. However, despite this decrease, PA I, PA II, and PAC were not significantly changed after training; the reason for this disrepancy is unknown.
