Sex-mediated response to landiolol, a ß1 selectif adrenergic blocker, in myocardial dysfunction during sepsis
ConclusionLandiolol improved the in vivo cardiac performance of septic male rats, in association with an improvement in diastolic function. However, in septic females, treatment with landiolol resulted in deleterious effects. Ongoing analysis of these signaling pathways will aid better understanding of sex differences occurring in sepsis.

Effects of blood pressure-lowering treatment on cardiovascular outcomes and mortality: 14 – effects of different classes of antihypertensive drugs in older and younger patients overview and meta-analysis
Conclusion:
Most BP-lowering classes are equally effective in preventing risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events both in older and younger patients, whereas beta-blockers, though being equally effective as the other agents in patients younger than 65, loose some of their effectiveness at an older age.

Clinical characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving rhythm-control therapy: the Fushimi AF Registry
AbstractManagement of atrial fibrillation (AF) with current rhythm-control therapy has an uncertain impact on outcomes. Among 3731 patients in the Fushimi AF Registry, a community-based prospective survey of AF patients in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, we investigated the characteristics and outcomes in 478 patients receiving rhythm-control therapy (anti-arrhythmic drug and/or catheter ablation) alone, with 1279 patients receiving rate-control therapy (beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and digoxin) alone serving as a reference. The Rhythm-control group, 26% of which had prior catheter ablation, was younger (70.5 ± 10.8 v...

Abstract 208: A Large, Retrospective Cohort Study Comparing Cardiovascular Outcomes With {beta}-blocker Combination Treatment in Patients With Hypertension Session Title: Poster Session PM
Conclusions: In adults receiving combination antihypertension therapy, NEB treatment was associated with a lower risk for CV-related hospitalization than either ATN or MET. Lower risk of hospitalization was supported by event rate data, as patients receiving NEB combined with other antihypertensives were hospitalized less frequently than patients receiving combination therapy with either ATN or MET.

Diuretic or Beta-Blocker for Hypertensive Patients Already Receiving ACEI/ARB and Calcium Channel Blocker
ConclusionAdding a diuretic may be better than adding a beta-blocker for treating hypertensive patients with prior CVA history who have already received ACEIs/ARBs and CCBs.

Super High Dose Beta-blocker Administration for the Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
First case is a 25-year-old female with dilated cardiomyopathy. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was 74 mm and ejection fraction (EF) was 29%. Carvedilol was already uptitrated to 20 mg twice daily. Right heart catheterization (RHC) revealed very low cardiac output (C.O. 2.82 l/min), cardiac index (C.I. 1.47 l/min/m2), stroke volume (SV 29 ml) and rapid heart rate (HR 96/min) despite maximu m dosage of carvedilol in Japan. Carvedilol was uptitrated to 50 mg twice daily and additional 10 mg bisoprolol twice daily was started under administration of low-dose dobutamine.

The Treatment Effect of an ACE-Inhibitor Based Regimen with Perindopril in Relation to Beta-Blocker use in 29,463 Patients with Vascular Disease: a Combined Analysis of Individual Data of ADVANCE, EUROPA and PROGRESS Trials
ConclusionsThese data suggest that the beneficial cardioprotective effects of perindopril treatment are additive to the background beta-blockers use.

Improved outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction during the last 20 years are related to implementation of evidence-based treatments: experiences from the SWEDEHEART registry 1995–2014
ConclusionGradual implementation of new and established evidence-based treatments in STEMI patients during the last 20 years has been associated with prolonged survival and lower risk of recurrent ischaemic events, although a plateauing is seen since around 2008.

Effect of Preoperative Beta-Blocker Use on Outcomes Following Cardiac Surgery
Recent studies suggest that the use of preoperative β blockers in cardiac surgery may not provide improved mortality rates and may even contribute to negative clinical outcomes. We therefore assessed the role of β blockers on several outcomes after cardiac surgery (delirium, acute kidney injury [AKI], stroke, atrial fibrillation (AF), mortality, an d hospital length of stay) in 4,076 patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary artery bypass grafting + valve, or valve cardiac surgery from November 1, 2009, to September 30, 2015, at Vanderbilt Medical Center.

Total management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Abstract
Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) often have multiple comorbid conditions that may interact with each other, confound the choice of treatments, and reduce mortality. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most important comorbidities of CVD, which causes serious consequences in patients with ischemic heart disease, stroke, arrhythmia, and heart failure. COPD shares common risk factors such as tobacco smoking and aging with CVD, is associated with less physical activity, and produces systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Overall, patients with COPD have a 2-3-fold increas...

Prestroke treatment with beta-blockers for hypertension is not associated with severity and poor outcome in patients with ischemic stroke: data from a national stroke registry
Background: Beta-blockers are not recommended as the initial therapy for hypertension. Reports on associations between use of beta-blockers and stroke severity are inconclusive. We assessed associations between prestroke use of beta-blockers and stroke severity, poststroke disability and death in a large group of hypertensive patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: All 3915 patients with ischemic stroke, treated prestroke for hypertension and registered in the National Acute Stroke ISraeli, were included. Treatment for hypertension was classified by medication type (beta-blockers, diuretics, calcium ant...

Medical Therapy for Secondary Prevention and Long-Term Outcome in Patients with Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Artery (MINOCA) Disease.
Conclusions -The results indicate long-term beneficial effects on outcome in patients with MINOCA of treatment with statins and ACEI/ARBs, a trend toward a positive effect of beta-blocker treatment, and a neutral effect of DAPT. Properly powered randomized clinical trials to confirm these results are warranted.

Beta-Blocker Use Is Associated With Impaired Left Atrial Function in Hypertension Hypertension
BackgroundImpaired left atrial (LA) mechanical function is present in hypertension and likely contributes to various complications, including atrial arrhythmias, stroke, and heart failure. Various antihypertensive drug classes exert differential effects on central hemodynamics and left ventricular function. However, little is known about their effects on LA function.Methods and ResultsWe studied 212 subjects with hypertension and without heart failure or atrial fibrillation. LA strain was measured from cine steady‐state free‐precession cardiac MRI images using feature‐tracking algorithms. In multivariable models adju...
