Clarifies time-dependent beta-blocker hemodynamics in hypertension; leaves open translation to contemporary agent selection and outcomes.
What are the acute and long-term haemodynamic effects of beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents in the treatment of hypertension?
Beta-blockers lower blood pressure in hypertension through complex mechanisms that ultimately alter cardiac output and total peripheral vascular resistance.
Lennart Hansson (1977) studied this question.
