Why the study?
Does transdermal clonidine or oral atenolol affect acute exercise performance and response to aerobic conditioning in young subjects with mild hypertension?
Does transdermal clonidine or oral atenolol affect acute exercise performance and response to aerobic conditioning in young subjects with mild hypertension?
Oral atenolol impairs acute exercise endurance and blunts aerobic conditioning compared to transdermal clonidine or placebo in young hypertensive patients, despite superior blood pressure control.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Avoid atenolol in active young hypertensives; challenges beta-blocker preference over clonidine despite superior BP control.
