Nebivolol Brand Name– Bystolic
What is Nebivolol
Nebivolol is a beta-1 selective (cardioselective) adrenergic antagonist.
Unlike propranolol, which nonspecifically blocks beta-1 and beta-2 adrenoreceptors, or atenolol, which has more affinity for the beta-1 adrenoreceptor but at higher doses loses its beta-1 specificity, nebivolol has an even higher affinity for the beta-1 adrenoreceptor at therapeutic doses and also possesses vasodilatory properties due to nitric oxide modulation.
Nebivolol possesses antioxidant properties, is lipophilic, and lacks intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA).
Unlike other beta-blocking agents, nebivolol decreases vascular peripheral resistance, improves left ventricular performance, and is not associated with an acute decrease in cardiac output sometimes seen with the initiation of other beta blockers.
Nebivolol has been studied in patients with hypertension and heart failure and is approved in Europe for mild to moderate, uncomplicated hypertension and mild to moderate heart failure.
Nebivolol has specifically been evaluated in elderly patients with a clinical history of chronic heart failure with either preserved or reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
The primary outcome of the SENIORS trial, Study of the Effects of Nebivolol Intervention on Outcomes and Rehospitalization in Seniors with heart failure (N=2135, mean age 76.1 years), was a composite of all cause mortality or cardiovascular hospital admission (time to first event).
The composite end point occurred in 31.1% of the nebivolol group compared 35.3% of the placebo group (hazard ratio 0.86, 95% CI 0.74—0.99; P=0.039). No significant differences in age, gender, or ejection fraction was seen on the effect of nebivolol on the primary outcome.
Death (all causes) occurred in 15.8% of the nebivolol group and 18.1% of the placebo group (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.71—1.08; P=0.21).
Nebivolol (Bystolic™) was approved in the US in December 2007 for the treatment of hypertension, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
