title: Clinical trial of the beta-adrenoreceptor-blocking agent tolamolol with the use of 24 hour blood pressure recordings.
abstract: 1. The average blood pressure over 24 h and its variability were measured in eight unrestricted subjects before and after commencing therapy with a new beta-adrenoreceptor-blocking agent, tolamolol. 2. The drug caused a fall of 15 +/- 6 mgHg in mean arterial pressure and heart rate fell by 13 beats/min. The variation in blood pressure and heart rate over 24 h was unchanged after treatment.
