Why the study?
Do beta-adrenergic blocking agents (propranolol or metoprolol) affect exercise tolerance, exercise conditioning response, and blood pressure response to conditioning in hypertensive patients?
Do beta-adrenergic blocking agents (propranolol or metoprolol) affect exercise tolerance, exercise conditioning response, and blood pressure response to conditioning in hypertensive patients?
In hypertensive patients undergoing an aerobic exercise program, beta-1-selective blockers (metoprolol) preserve blood-pressure-lowering effects and affect exercise capacity less than nonselective blockers (propranolol).
