On the cardiovascular and antiarrhythmic actions of the cardioselective beta‐adrenoceptor antagonist bevantolol in the pig

Abstract: The cardioselective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist bevantolol (1-[(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)amino]-3-(m-tolyloxy)-2-propanol monohydrochloride) was studied for its effects on cardiac performance and on coronary artery occlusion-induced ventricular fibrillation in anesthetized open-chest pigs. In doses of 0.5-3.0 mg. kg-' the drug caused dose-dependent decreases in cardiac output (10-35%) that were primarily due to a negative chronotropic action, as heart rate decreased considerably more (10-25%) than stroke volume… Show more

“…Beta-adrenoceptor antagonists usually decrease cardiac output by negative chronotropic and inotropic actions. This study shows that when the reduction in heart rate is related to that in maxLVdPldt, bisoprolol behaves very similarly to some other beta-adrenoceptor antagonists such as bevantolol (cardioselective) and propranolol (noncardioselective), which have been evaluated in the same model [Wolffenbuttel and Verdouw, 1983;Hartog et al, 1986;Verdouw et al, 19861. In the present study heart rate had only a minor effect on maxLVdP/dt, which is in agreement with the results reported earlier for the same species [Scheffer and Verdouw, 19831. This implies that the decrease in maxLVdP/dt mainly reflects a decrease in myocardial contractility, because the changes in pre-and afterload were of minor importance. Since autonomic cardiac innervation was preserved, we cannot conclude whether this decrease in maxLVdP/dt was the result of a direct myocardial depressant effect, or the result of inhibition of the sympathimometic activity, or (most probably) a combination of both.…”
