title: Influence of various antihypertensive agents on lifespan of renal hypertensive rats.
abstract: 1 Daily treatment of two-kidney clipped renal hypertensive rats with hydrallazine, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and a new orally active inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme, captopril (SQ14,225), was correlated with survival rates for up to 9 months. 2 The groups of rats given captopril alone or captopril plus intermittent or chronic HCTZ had the best survival rate, whereas HCTZ alone or hydrallazine did not benefically affect survival. 3 Survival rates correlated well with control of BP in these animals.
