This study assessed blood pressure (BP) reductions and response rates following addition of nebivolol to ongoing antihypertensive therapy in patients with uncontrolled stage I-II hypertension despite antihypertensive treatment. Patients with an average sitting diastolic BP (SiDBP) X90 and p109 mm Hg while taking an antihypertensive regimen were included in this double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. The primary efficacy end point was reduction from baseline to week 12 in mean trough SiDBP. In total, 669 patients were randomized to once-daily nebivolol 5, 10 or 20 mg or placebo. Addition of nebivolol 5, 10 and 20 mg significantly reduced BP; placebo-subtracted least squares mean reductions in trough SiDBP were À3.3, À3.5 and À4.6 mm Hg, respectively (Po0.001) and À5.7, À3.7 and À6.2 mm Hg in trough sitting systolic BP (SiSBP), respectively (Pp0.015). Adding nebivolol 5-20 mg resulted in significantly more responders (SiDBP o90 or X10 mm Hg reduction; range: 53.0-65.1 vs 41.3% with placebo; Pp0.028) and significantly better control rates (SiSBP/ SiDBP o140/90 mm Hg; range: 41.3-52.7 vs 29.3% with placebo; Pp0.029). Nebivolol was well tolerated; the incidence of adverse events with nebivolol was similar to that with placebo (40.2 vs 38.9%, respectively; P ¼ 0.763). Addition of once-daily nebivolol to ongoing antihypertensive therapy provided significant additional BP reductions and better response rates in patients with uncontrolled hypertension and was well tolerated.

“…A large observational study of nebivolol monotherapy in patients with hypertension (N = 6376) found that the rate of response in patients older than 65 years and older than 75 years (92.9% in both) was similar to that in patients younger than 65 years (92.8%) [53]. In addition, a large, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study (N = 509) found that nebivolol had similar efficacy in hypertensive black patients as in white patients, with average BP reductions at trough of -9.7/8.5 mm Hg and -9.0/9.4 mm Hg, respectively [54].…”

Although well established in treating hypertension and cardiovascular (CV) disease, clinical trial data suggest that beta-blockers (eg, atenolol) may be less effective than other antihypertensive classes in reducing stroke and CV mortality despite similar blood pressure (BP) reductions. One possible explanation is that atenolol is less effective in reducing central aortic pressure. Newer vasodilating beta-blockers may prove more effective in reducing central pressure and cardiovascular events. Carvedilol and labetalol appear to cause vasodilation through alpha(1)-receptor blockade; nebivolol induces endothelium-dependent vasodilation by stimulating nitric oxide bioactivity. Their favorable hemodynamic profile includes reduction of peripheral vascular resistance (PVR) while maintaining or improving cardiac output (CO), stroke volume, and left ventricular function, whereas nonvasodilating beta-blockers tend to raise PVR and reduce CO and left ventricular function. Compared with conventional beta-blockers, vasodilating beta-blockers have beneficial hemodynamic effects including decreased pressure wave reflection from the periphery, leading to decreases in central aortic blood pressure. Larger trials are needed to determine whether reduced central pressure will translate into improved CV outcomes compared with nonvasodilating beta-blockers.
