as a β-blocker to examine airway mechanics in fungus-challenged mice[3]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cavedilol is a non-selective β-adrenergic blocker with α1 blocking activity.
Cavedilol is a non-selective β-adrenergic blocker with α1 blocking activity. Carvedilol is used specifically for the treatment of heart failure and high blood pressure. It has been shown to improve left ventricular ejection fraction and may reduce mortality.

Our previous studies have shown the β2 -adrenoceptor and its endogenous ligand, adrenaline, are required for development of the asthma phenotype in murine asthma models. Chronic administration of some, but not other, β-blockers attenuated the asthma phenotype and led us
