Abstract

30 patients with essential hypertension were treated with diltiazem (Herben(R))significantly decreased both systolic and diastolic blood pressuer and heart rate. Mean decrease in systolic & diastolic blood pressuer were 38.0+/-4,5mmHg and 16.3+/-2.3 mmHg respectively and mean drop in heart rate was 17+/-2 beats/mm. The side effects of diltiazem (Herben(R)) were mild headache, fatigue and pruritus, but those were insignificant. Diliazem may be of benefit to hypertensive patients, and particularly useful when hypertension occurs in association with coronary artery disease.
