Effects of beta blockade with acebutolol on hypertension, hemodynamics, and fluid volume

Abstract: Eleven patients with essential hypertension were treated with the beta adrenergic blocker, acebutolol. Clinical, systemic, and regional hemodynamic and biochemical studies were performed before and after 4 wk of acebutolol therapy (average doses, 1,200 mg/day.) In 4 patients there was a reduction in mean arterial pressure greater than or equal to 10 mm Hg; there was none in the remainder. Regardless of the blood pressure response, the renin secretory index did not change. Although cardiac output did not change… Show more

“…The haemodynamic effects of AC after chronic administration have also been reported by others [26,27]. In those studies, the hypotensive action of the drug in the long term was accompanied by a decrease in heart rate.…”

“…However, this is not the only possible expla nation. as a decrease in renal plasma flow has been reported with agents such as acebutolol without a reduc tion in cardiac output [14]. Therefore, an alteration in renal flow regulation seems also involved.…”

“…The mechanism involved remains, however, undefined. When given in doses that do not affect systemic hemo dynamics, propranolol [15] or acébutolol [16] produce renal vasoconstriction. (5-blockers such as propranolol and nadolol have different effects on renal function [ 17] although they suppress renin secretion in a similar fash ion [18].…”
