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

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

Few patients with hypertension meet recommended target blood pressure goals, and most hypertensive patients require at least 2 antihypertensive medications from different pharmacologic classes to adequately lower blood pressure. beta-Blockers are guideline-recommended for the treatment of hypertension with compelling indications.

Cocaine-induced myocardial infarction (MI) is well documented. Current literature recommends avoiding beta-blockers in the acute care setting, but after discharge from the hospital, benefits of beta-blocker use may outweigh risks in patients with recent MI resulting from cocaine use.
