title: [Antihypertensive treatment with beta receptor blockers and obstructive ventilatory disorder (author's transl)].
abstract: The author reports on the results of an investigation of 100 randomly sampled hypertensives treated with beta blockers and presenting an unexpected incidence (32%) of increased airway resistance. Remarkable occurrences of bronchitis in infancy, recurrent bronchitis and chronic bronchitis are indicative of a substantially higher risk of bronchial side effects by high-dosed beta blocker therapy (e. g. antihypertensive treatment). Hints are given for the practical approach.
