ABSTRACT
Viskaldix, a combination of Pindolol (Visken)--10 mg with Clopamide--5 mg, was administered to 15 patients with arterial hypertension. The follow up of the patients was according to a previous plan, the preparation administered according, to a schedule. In the determination of the stage of the disease, consideration was mainly given to the values of the diastolic pressure, measured in a lying position. The patients examined were of the following age: to 40--I patient; to 50-7 patients; to 60--7 patients. Seven patients were at the stage I, 4 patients--stage OII and 4 patients--stage III. Reduction of systolic and diastolic pressure with more than 1.33 kPa (10 mm Hg column) both in a lying and standing position were recorded in 2/3 of the patients with the treatment carried out. The effect on the blood pressure, was noticed to develop in 1/3 of the patients with the administration of 2 tablets daily. The blood pressure of only one patient failed to respond to the treatment.
