Post-operative atrial fibrillation is influenced by beta-blocker therapy but not by pre-operative atrial cellular electrophysiology [PDF]
, 2006 We investigated whether post-cardiac surgery (CS) new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is predicted by pre-CS atrial cellular electrophysiology, and whether the antiarrhythmic effect of beta-blocker therapy may involve pre-CS pharmacological remodeling ...

A nurse-led up-titration clinic improves chronic heart failure optimization of beta-adrenergic receptor blocking therapy : a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Beta-adrenergic blockade has been shown to improve left ventricular function, reduce hospital admissions and improve survival in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), with mortality reduction starting early after beta ...

Influence of heart rate, blood pressure, and beta-blocker dose on outcome and the differences in outcome between carvedilol and metoprolol tartrate in patients with chronic heart failure: results from the COMET trial. [PDF]
, 2005 AIMS: We studied the influence of heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and beta-blocker dose on outcome in the 2599 out of 3029 patients in Carvedilol Or Metoprolol European Trial (COMET) who were alive and on study drug at 4 months after ...

Effect of beta-blocker therapy on the risk of infections and death after acute stroke--a historical cohort study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 BACKGROUND:Infections are a frequent cause for prolonged hospitalization and increased mortality after stroke. Recent studies revealed a stroke-induced depression of the peripheral immune system associated with an increased susceptibility for infections.

Angiotensin II blockade and aortic-root dilation in Marfan's syndrome [PDF]
, 2008 Background: Progressive enlargement of the aortic root, leading to dissection, is the main cause of premature death in patients with Marfan's syndrome. Recent data from mouse models of Marfan's syndrome suggest that aortic-root enlargement is caused by ...

Should beta-blocker therapy be reduced or withdrawn after an episode of decompensated heart failure? Results from COMET. [PDF]
, 2007 BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether beta-blocker therapy should be reduced or withdrawn in patients who develop acute decompensated heart failure (HF). We studied the relationship between changes in beta-blocker dose and outcome in patients surviving a

Association Between Lipophilic Beta-Blockers and Depression in Diabetic Patients on Chronic Dialysis
Clinical Medicine Insights: Endocrinology and Diabetes, 2022 Background: Depression is associated with lower quality of life and increased risk of mortality. The prevalence of depression in chronic dialysis patients, as well as in patients with diabetes, is more than 20%. It is debated whether use of beta-blockers

Chronic beta-adrenoceptor blockade and human atrial cell electrophysiology: evidence of pharmacological remodelling [PDF]
, 2003 <b>Objective:</b> Chronic beta-adrenoceptor antagonist (β-blocker) treatment reduces the incidence of reversion to AF in patients, possibly via an adaptive myocardial response.
