Bisoprolol, sold under the brand name Zebeta among others, is a beta blocker which is selective for the beta-1 receptor [7] and used for cardiovascular diseases, [7] including tachyarrhythmias, high blood pressure, angina, and heart failure. [7] [8] It is taken by mouth. [7]
Beta blockers vary in their lipophilicity (fat solubility) and in turn in their ability to cross the blood–brain barrier and exert effects in the central nervous system. [76] Beta blockers with greater blood–brain barrier permeability can have both neuropsychiatric therapeutic benefits and side effects, as well as adverse cognitive effects ...
Beta-blockers act as competitive antagonists that block the effects of catecholamines at beta-adrenergic receptor sites, resulting in reduced rate and force of contraction of the heart, as well as reduced peripheral vascular resistance. [14] Non-selective beta-blockers: propranolol, nadolol, timolol
Beta blockers work by blocking the effects of adrenaline, aka slowing your heart rate and reducing those physical signs and symptoms of nervousness and anxiety, he explained.
Metoprolol is classified as a moderately lipophilic beta blocker. [37] More lipophilic beta blockers tend to cross the blood–brain barrier more readily, with greater potential for effects in the central nervous system as well as associated neuropsychiatric side effects. [37] Metoprolol binds mainly to human serum albumin with an unbound ...
The elimination of atenolol is slowed in renal impairment, with the elimination rate being closely related to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and with significant accumulation occurring when the creatinine clearance rate is under 35 mL/min/1.73 m 2. [4] At a GFR of less than 10 mL/min, the half-life of atenolol increases up to 36 hours. [6]
An AI death calculator can now tell you when you’ll die — and it’s eerily accurate. The tool, called Life2vec, can predict life expectancy based on its study of data from 6 million Danish ...
In acute coronary syndrome, β-blockers have been recommended as a class I-A indication in clinical practice guidelines, because the treatment decreases the mortality rate. [21] β-blockers, along with calcium channel blockers, reduce the workload of the heart and its oxygen requirement. β-blockers are sometimes used in a combination therapy ...
