May support propranolol's BP control via reduced output without hypotension; leaves open generalizability from single case.
What are the haemodynamic effects of chronic oral propranolol therapy at rest and during exercise in hypertensive patients?
Chronic oral propranolol therapy in hypertensive patients maintains blood pressure control through reduced cardiac output despite high peripheral resistance, without causing postural or exercise-induced hypotension.
Prichard et al. (1970) studied this question.
