title: [Comparative studies on the effects of propranolol and acebutolol on blood pressure, serum lipids and lipoproteins in patients with primary hypertension].
abstract: A comparative studies on the effect of propranolol and acebutolol on blood pressure, cardiac function, blood serum lipids and lipoproteins were carried out in 48 patients with the primary hypertension double-blind method was applied. Tested drugs were given for 12 weeks. It was found, that both drugs are potent and comparable hypotensive agents normalizing blood pressure in the majority of treated patients. No significant difference in the effect on heart rate and adverse reactions has been noted. Acebutolol did not change lipid metabolism parameters whereas propranolol slightly but statistically significantly increased serum triglycerides.
