[Hemodynamic observations in a group of hypertensive patients treated with tienilic acid (author's transl)].

In ten patients suffering from slight or moderate essential arterial hypertension, undergoing treatment with tienilic acid at 500 mg per day, various hemodynamic parameters were assessed by means of ecocardiographic and policardiographic studies carried out before, during and at the end of treatment. In all cases a return to normal blood pressure values was achieved. No statistically significant changes in these parameters were observed, whereas the blood tests showed a reduction in the uric acid level and a moderate reduction in the potassium level.
