Abstract
The aim of the present study was to study the efficacy and safety of Nebivolol and Metoprolol in post-myocardial infarction patient and to compare the efficacy and safety of Nebivolol and Metoprolol in post-myocardial infarction patients. This randomized, open-label and comparative study was done in the Department of General Medicine, Kakatiya Medical College, and MGM Hospital Warangal. A total of n=110 patients were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were randomized to two groups N-groups of n=55, M-group to receive once-daily Nebivolol 5 mg and Metoprolol 50mg twice-daily respectively for 2 months. Clinical laboratory parameters were measured at day (0), and at day 56. Results The standing baseline mean systolic blood pressure 166±9 mmHg was reduced to 139±10 mmHg after 2 months treatment with Nebivolol, whereas in case of Metoprolol standing baseline systolic blood pressure 161±11 mmHg reduced to 143±14 mmHg after 2 months treatment. In case of standing, baseline mean diastolic blood pressure 103±7 mm Hg reduced to 84±4 mmHg after 2 months of treatment with Nebivolol, whereas with Metoprolol standing baseline diastolic blood pressure 100±6 mmHg reduced to 87±7 mmHg after 2 months treatment. Heart rate in case of N-group baseline 87±9 beats/min reduced to 74±6 beats/min after 2 months treatment, whereas in M-group baseline heart rate 82±7 beats/min reduced to 76±5 beats/min after 2 months treatment. Conclusion: it can be concluded that Nebivolol is superior to Metoprolol in control of blood pressure in post-myocardial infarction patients with hypertension. The distinct advantages of Nebivolol include lower incidences of adverse effects and since the dose is single there is better compliance as compared to Metoprolol
