This book brings together papers presented at an international
symposium on centrally acting antihypertensive agents held in
Geneva, Switzerland, in association with the 10th Scientific
Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension. A major focus
of this symposium was the sympatholytic agent, clonidine, and was
partly stimulated by the re cent development of an innovative
transdermal system for administering this antihyper tensive drug.
Although clonidine has been available to clinicians for several
years, there has been a re cent reawakening of interest in this
type of medication. The centrally-acting antihyper tensive agents
appear to be effective both as monotherapy and in combination with
other drugs. There are no significant contraindications to their
use, and they do not appear to produce metabolic side effects. In
this symposium we have paid attention to two types of patients:
those with uncomplicated mild hypertension, and those with more
difficult forms of hypertension associated with concurrent
conditions."
