[Effect of nebivolol on remodeling of the heart and vessels and the state of hemodynamics in patients with hypertension].

Abstract

Echocardiography, doppler echocardiography and venous occlusion plethysmography were used for the study of effects of monotherapy with nebivolol (2.5-10, mean 5.1 mg/day for 24 weeks) on remodeling of cardiovascular system and the state of hemodynamics in 25 patients with stage II hypertension and chronic heart failure (NYHA class I-II). Treatment with nebivolol was associated with lowering of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (by 22% and 26%, respectively), significant reduction of left ventricular mass index, improvement of parameters of systolic and diastolic left ventricular function and lowering of NYHA class of heart failure. Favorable changes of remodeling of peripheral vessels and of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation also occurred.
