The effect of a beta-receptor blockade on the mucociliary clearance was studied in 24 patients without pulmonary disease but with coronary heart disease. No deterioration of mucociliary clearance was recorded under medication with 2 X 50 mg metoprolol or 2 X 2.5 mg mepindolol per day. In contrast, mucociliary clearance deteriorated significantly under medication with 2 X 40 mg propranolol.
