Overview

Should not change practice; hypothesis-generating for central actions of lipophilic beta-blockers in human heart failure remodeling.

This study provides the first direct evidence that the central nervous system action of lipophilic beta-blockers contributes to their beneficial effects on left ventricular remodeling in heart failure.

Cite This Study

Gourine et al. (2008) studied myocardial infarction-induced heart failure. metoprolol (intracerebroventricular administration) was evaluated on progression of left ventricular remodeling. Chronic intracerebroventricular administration of metoprolol attenuated the progression of left ventricular remodeling in a rat model of myocardial infarction-induced heart failure.
