lüll A review of the safety and efficacy of nebivolol in the mildly hypertensive patient Cockcroft JVasc Health Risk Manag 2007[]; 3 (6): 909-17Nebivolol is a third generation beta-blocker, which can be distinguished from other beta-blockers by its hemodynamic profile. It combines beta-adrenergic blocking activity with a vasodilating effect mediated by the endothelial L-arginine nitric oxide (NO) pathway. The effects of nebivolol have been compared with other beta-blockers and also with other classes of antihypertensive agents. In general, response rates to treatment are higher, and the frequency and severity of adverse events are either comparable or lower with nebivolol. Nebivolol is also effective in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in elderly patients with heart failure, regardless of the initial ejection fraction. Endothelium-derived NO is important in the regulation of large arterial stiffness, which in turn is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Treatment with nebivolol increases the release of NO from the endothelium and improves endothelial function, leading to a reduction in arterial stiffness. Decreased arterial stiffness has beneficial hemodynamic effects including reductions in central aortic blood pressure. Unlike first generation beta-blockerrs, vasodilator beta-blockerrs such as nebivolol have favorable hemodynamic effects, which may translate into improved cardiovascular outcomes in patients with hypertension.|Adrenergic beta-Antagonists/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Arteries/physiopathology[MESH]|Benzopyrans/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Endothelium, Vascular/metabolism[MESH]|Ethanolamines/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Heart Failure/drug therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypertension/*drug therapy/physiopathology[MESH]|Nebivolol[MESH]|Nitric Oxide/metabolism[MESH] |
