[Broadened indications for the use of selective β-adrenoblockers].

Abstract

Broadened Indications to the prescription of selective -adrenoblockers in international and European recommendations are considered in this review. Selective β-adrenoblockers have been shown to possess both good antihypertensive and neutral metabolic actions. Bisoprolol does not worsen lipid, carbohydrate metabolisms, and sexual function in men. Antiischemic activity of bisoprolol exceeds that of calcium channel blocker nifedipine. Generic preparation of bisoprolol according to a series of clinical studies can be successfully used both in patients with arterial hypertension and concomitant diseases and in patients with ischemic heart disease.
