Abstract

The influences of verapamil, propranolol and their combination on blood pressure and heart rate during cold pressor testing and isometric exercise were examined in 13 patients with essential hypertension. Verapamil modified the peak pressor responses to each stimulus while the major action of propranolol was on heart rate. Together the drugs attenuated both haemodynamic responses. Combined calcium antagonism and beta-blockade may modify favourably surges in blood pressure and heart rate in ambulant hypertensives.
