Notes:
1. Acute hormonal and renal effects of dilevalol (200 mg), a non-selective β-blocking drug with vasodilator properties, were compared with placebo in six normal men on constant sodium intake.2. Control and treatment blood pressures were lower with dilevalol than placebo, although the pattern of blood pressure fall was similar in both.3. Plasma active renin and aldosterone concentrations were lower on dilevalol than placebo after 4 h of recumbency (P 〈 0.05).4. Total plasma renin, renin substrate, cortisol and atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations were similar on dilevalol and placebo.5. There were no differences in glomerular filtration rate and no deleterious biochemical or haematological changes on dilevalol or placebo.
