A prospective, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, clinical trial to assess central haemodynamic effects of bisoprolol and atenolol in hypertensive patients

Abstract: In this study, there was no significant difference between bisoprolol and atenolol in terms of reduction of aortic pulse pressure after 12 weeks of treatment.

“…18,19 However, recently the X-CELLENT study was unable to show different central and peripheral blood pressure effects by indapamid, candesartan, and amlodipine, 20 as did the CHAMPION trial comparing beta-blockers with different receptor affinities. 21 Thus, some, but not all, antihypertensive medications may exert different effects on central and brachial blood pressure. Another important issue is whether central and brachial blood pressure reductions are equally important for prevention of adverse events.…”

“…Conflicting results regarding the effect of beta‐blockers on central BP have been published: a decrease in central systolic pressure and pulse pressure , a decrease in central systolic and diastolic but not pulse pressure and a decrease in central diastolic pressure have been reported. The results on the effects of non‐vasodilating beta‐blockers on pulse wave velocity (PWV), a marker of arterial stiffness, have also been controversial.…”

“…It is important to recognize that although the patients recruited in GENRES were similar to those in PEAR in terms of having mild-to-moderate hypertension and of similar age and baseline BP, there were two significant differences between these two studies. The β-blocker used in GENRES was bisoprolol 5 mg/day, which is considered equivalent to atenolol 50 mg/day [18]. This is half the dose that was used in PEAR participants.…”
