[Haemodynamic characterization of a new beta-receptor blocker celiprolol (st1396) at rest and during ergometer exercise compared with propranolol (inderal) (author's transl)].
A new beta-receptor blocker (Celiprolol) was characterized in man by haemodynamic studies carried out on a random cross-over basis in 6 volunteers before and after intravenous administration of the drug or propranolol. The studies were performed at rest and in response to ergometer exercise. The studies showed that: 1. Celiprolol is a cardio-selective beta-receptor blocker with pronounced intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Hence, Celiprolol increases the heart rate and cardiac output at rest. 2. The heart rate was reduced by Celiprolol during pronounced physical exercise. 3. Celiprolol probably has only a very slight blocking effect on those, beta1-receptors which mediate a positive inotropic effect. 4. The increase in blood pressure during exercise was less pronounced during Celiprolol medication than with propranolol.
