Optimizing Cardiovascular Outcomes With Bisoprolol: An Evidence-Based Perspective
The cardiovascular continuum is the developmental process of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) leading to heart failure (HF) and sudden cardiac death. Beta-blockers (BBs) are at the forefront of managing conditions along this continuum, ranging from cardiovascular (CV) risk factors to heart failure. In particular, bisoprolol proved to be a highly cardio-selective BB with a favourable pharmacokinetic profile, demonstrating long-term safety, good tolerability, and proven efficacy in reducing cardiac events, including arrhythmias and mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This evidence-based and perspective showcased numerous clinical studies revealing the utility of bisoprolol in managing patients with CVDs, particularly HFrEF and stable angina. It also included safety evidence for bisoprolol in patients with renal and hepatic dysfunction, etc. Expert opinions from leading cardiologists across India further reinforce the role of bisoprolol as a...
