beta blockers have an ever increasing role in many cardiovascular disorders like heart failure,heart attacks,hypertension & SIHD. With new_generation beta-blockers,their efficacy has increased with fewer side effects.They now have a very important role in heart-failure & CAD,while lesser role in management of hypertension.Their present status in CV disorders according to latest guidelines is highlighted.The so called thierd generation betablockers have shown better efficacy with fewer side-effects though large scale randomized trials are lacking

increase in the risk of type 2 diabetes.

38. Beta Blockers : Not the first choice
•BP reduction not associated with: Significant organ protection or Reduction of events
and mortality
•Side effect profile is not good.. Adverse effects like increased insulin resistance,
dyslipidemia, new onset diabetes, fatigue, and weight gain
Newer non beta blocker drugs are more effective.
Effect of older beta blockers like atenolol which having shorter duration of action
But can we Extrapolate the limitation of Atenolol for all beta blockers?

40. Degradation of beta blocker use in 2018 ESC/ESH hypertension
guidelines
“The limitations of the atenolol (the BB used in
most prior studies) cannot be extrapolated to the
newer BBs, and might bring about premature
curtailment in the use of these agents in general”
BBs constitute one of the most heterogeneous
class of antihypertensive medications.
In conclusion, BBs should also be considered in
Steps 1–2 of the core drug treatment strategy for
uncomplicated hypertension, especially in
younger patients without a diuretic.
41. In younger hypertensives beta-blockers reverse both ECG – and
echocardiographic – LVH. High beta-1 selectivity ensures reversibility
of echocardiographic LVH at least as great as the action of ACE-
inhibitors.
Beta-blocker-induced metabolic disturbance (lipids, blood sugar and
insulin-resistance) stems from beta-2 blockade (and possibly beta-3
blockade). Such disturbances are avoided by high beta-1 selectivity,
beta-2/3 intrinsic sympathomimetic activity or alpha blockade.
In trials involving younger/middle-aged overweight hypertensives
(MRC mild Hypertension, IPPPSH, MAPHY, UKPDS), with relatively
narrow pulse pressures, first-line beta-blockade has been more
effective than placebo and diuretics, and at least as good as ACE-
inhibitors, in preventing coronary events

45. Properties of ß-blockers
Lipid solubility
• High lipid solubility short T½ and high brain penetration
• Low lipid solubility long T½ and low brain penetration
• The higher the lipid solubility, the easier it is for the liver to clear
the drug, thus the shorter the half-life
• The higher the lipid solubility, the greater the penetration through
the blood brain barrier, thus the greater the central nervous system
effects (depression, migraine headache treatment, sleep disorders
etc…)

48. Bisoprolol
Bisoprolol is a cardioselective β1-blocker.
It is used along with other β 1-blockers to treat multiple heart diseases such as
congestive heart failure, without having the unwanted effect of the β2 receptor
blocking, which can affect multiple systems in the body.
Bisoprolol is considered to be one of the selective agents indicated in the
treatment plan of compensated heart failure, along with carvedilol and
metoprolol.
Selective β - blockers are considered the first-line treatment for chronic stable
angina.
It is also FDA approved for the treatment of hypertension, post, or recent
myocardial infarction (MI).

52. Carvedilol, Bisoprolol, and Metoprolol Use in Patients With Coexistent Heart Failure and
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
n=11,558 subjects
Mean follow-up period: 4.07 years.
3 beta-blockers proven to be beneficial to HF (carvedilol, bisoprolol, and
metoprolol) during the study period were extracted.
Primary endpoint was distinct survival effects of the three b-blockers
recommended in the guidelines for HF (carvedilol, bisoprolol, and
metoprolol) in patients with coexistent HF and COPD.
Results: Bisoprolol use showed a dose–response survival benefit, whereas no
survival difference was observed for carvedilol or
metoprolol.
Patients with coexisting HF and COPD, this study demonstrated a dose–
response survival benefit of bisoprolol use, but not of carvedilol or metoprolol
use.

53. Respiratory effect of beta-blockers in people with asthma and
cardiovascular disease: population-based nested case control
study
-35,502 people identified with active asthma and CVD
- Cardioselective beta-blocker exposure consisted mainly of atenolol (7.9%) and
bisoprolol (5.4%), whilst non-selective beta-blocker exposure consisted mainly of
sotalol (0.6%) and carvedilol (0.4%)
- Cardioselective beta-blocker use was not associated with a significantly increased
risk of moderate or severe asthma exacerbations. But non-selective beta-blockers
were associated with a significantly increased risk of moderate asthma
exacerbations when initiated at low to moderate doses and both moderate and
severe exacerbations when prescribed chronically at high dose
- Cardioselective beta-blocker use was not associated with a significantly
increased risk of moderate or severe asthma exacerbations.

57. Beta blockers in Post operative stroke
A retrospective cohort study to evaluate the association of β-blocker selectivity with
the risk of postoperative acute stroke.
Total 44,092 consecutive patients with age 50 yr or more having noncardiac,
nonneurologic surgery were involved
The primary outcome was stroke within 7 days of surgery. The secondary outcome
was a composite of all-cause mortality, postoperative myocardial injury, and stroke.
Metoprolol: ------ blue;
Atenolol: ----- green
Bisoprolol : ------ red.
The use of metoprolol and
atenolol is associated with
increased risks of post-
operative stroke, compared
with bisoprolol.
