Description

Application

Carvedilol has been used:

• as a β blocker to determine its effect on hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-mediated erythropoiesis under hypoxia in vivo
• as a βAR antagonist for inhibition of bARs
• as a β-blocker to examine airway mechanics in fungus-challenged mice

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.
