Properties of β 1 selectivity Less broncho constriction Less interference with CHO metabolism less hypoglycemia preferred in diabetics Less chances of Raynaud's phenomenon Less deleterious effect on blood lipid profile Less impairment of exercise capacity Less effect on tremor
Properties of ISA Less bradycardia Less rebound effect on withdrawal Less deleterious effect on blood lipid profile Not effective in migraine prophylaxis Not suitable for secondary prophylaxis of MI

Uses Cardiovascular Hypertension Angina Myocardial infarction Arrhythmia Cardiomyopathy CCF Dissecting aneurysm of aorta Non - cardiovascular Thyrotoxicosis Pheochromocytoma Migraine prophylaxis Essential tremor Glaucoma Anxiety Portal hypertension Anti psychotic induced akathesia
Hypertension Cardioselective beta blockers Rationale Decrease in HR,CO, myocardial contractility. Decrease renin release Decrease central sympathetic out flow
CHF ONLY in compensated CHF Antagonise sympathetic overactivity on myocardium Prevents myocyte apoptosis ↓ cardiac remodelling Retard progression of CHF Metoprolol Bisoprolol Carvedilol
Dissecting aortic aneurysm ↓ cardiac contractility, and aortic pulsation .
Non - cardiac uses Pheochromocytoma Used after an α blocker To control tachycardia and arrhythmia Suppress cardiomyopathy due to excess catecholamines Thyrotoxicosis Control sympathetic symptoms Inhibit peripheral conversion of T4 to T3 Preoperative use
Portal hypertension To Decrease Portal Vein Pressure in Patients with Cirrhosis Decrease variceal bleeding Propranolol
Glaucoma Decrease aqueous humour secretion Attenuating neuronal Ca and Na influx Protection to retinal neurons Inhibit ganglion cell death Timolol Carteolol Betaxolol Levobetaxolol Levobunolol Metipranolol
