Do beta-blockers improve outcomes in patients with arterial hypertension compared to other antihypertensive drugs?
This review summarizes evidence from large meta-analyses on the use of beta-blockers, particularly bisoprolol, in managing arterial hypertension, including in patients with diabetes and heart failure.
Data of the largest meta-analyzes of beta-blockers use in arterial hypertension is presented. The role of beta-blockers among other basic groups of antihypertensive drugs (thiazide diuretics, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors) is evaluated. Special considerations of beta-blockers use in hypertensive patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic heart failure are discussed. Special attention is paid to bisoprolol.
