hexamethonium and Chronic Disease

hexamethonium has been researched along with Chronic Disease in 7 studies

Hexamethonium: A nicotinic cholinergic antagonist often referred to as the prototypical ganglionic blocker. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It has been used for a variety of therapeutic purposes including hypertension but, like the other ganglionic blockers, it has been replaced by more specific drugs for most purposes, although it is widely used a research tool.

Chronic Disease: Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

" To test this hypothesis, we have used a novel approach to effectively "clamp" the sympathetic nervous system at a fixed level through chronic administration of the ganglionic blocking agent hexamethonium (15 mg/kg/h) and the alpha agonist phenylephrine (2."1.33Role of a responsive sympathetic nervous system in the chronic hypotensive effects of losartan in normal rats.
