Abstract
After a 2 wk washout period, 30 elderly hypertensive patients were treated with pindolol (a .beta.-adrenergic blocker) for 3 wk. In 13 patients the reduction in blood pressure was satisfactory and treatment with pindolol was continued for another 4 wk. In 17 patients the subsequent treatment was supplemented with clopamide (a diuretic) for 4 wk; in 6 the results were satisfactory. Side effects were few and mild.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
