Effect of ouabain on the responses to vasoconstrictor agents in isolated perfused rat tail arteries.

abstract：:Calcium antagonists can be used with a number of other antihypertensive compounds. The combined use of a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist and beta-blocker is well established and is probably the most efficacious combination for routine use. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may also constitute a suitabl...
