To examine the evidence regarding the impact of carvedilol on the serum lipid profile. Searches in MEDLINE and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (1966-December 2007) were conducted. Search terms included carvedilol, cholesterol, lipids, hyperlipidemia, and beta-blockers. Published studies and case reports that

Carvedilol is a potent noncardioselective beta-blocker, with weak vasodilating properties because of alpha 1 blockade. A reduction in both intrahepatic and portocollateral resistance contribute to enhanced effects on portal pressure. There are 10 published hemodynamic studies involving 168 patients investigating
