Description
Summary:The article provides a review of the topical issues of beta-blockers use in the clinical practice. Attention of practitioners is drawn to the possibility of using these or other beta-blockers in various clinical situations. Some beta-blockers, especially non-selective ones, have negative effects and cannot be used in certain clinical situations (metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus). Modern super-selective beta-blockers do not have these negative effects and can be widely used in clinical practice, including metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The review focuses on metoprolol tartrate, which has the most extensive evidence base for efficient treatment of various cardiovascular diseases. Another problem related to beta-blockers is their infrequent use or use at inadequate doses. In this connection, a practitioner should prescribe them at the recommended therapeutic doses in various clinical situations, according to the instructions for use of the drug.
