| Abstract: | Plasma volume and extracellular volume (sodium space) were found to be unchanged during treatment with propranolol (nine patients) and practolol (four patients) for well-compensated ischaemic heart disease. The volumes were determined before treatment and 2 days and 3 months after optimal dose for each patient was reached. |
