[Effect of hypotensive preparations on hemodynamics in persons of different sexes and ages].

The relationships between initial parameters of systemic hemodynamics, sex and age and the effect of hypotensive drugs were studied in patients with essential hypertension. It was shown that the ability of clonidine to decrease blood pressure is not related to the patients' sex but depends on their age. The relationship was revealed between the initial parameters of the hemodynamics and the effects of propranolol and oxylidin. No such a relationship was demonstrated as regards the effect of aldomet. The effect of propranolol, aldomet and oxylidin on human circulation has not been found to depend either on sex or age.
