Effects of Nebivolol on Exercise Tolerance and Left Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Function
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nebivolol for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 53 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to effectively treat hypertension in subjects with either known or newly diagnosed hypertension and concurrent evidence of diastolic dysfunction. Due to the unique properties of nebivolol, it is hypothesized that there will be improvements in left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function manifesting as increase exercise capacity in this patient population with primarily LV diastolic dysfunction. The present study was performed to determine the effects of nebivolol on blood pressure, exercise tolerance and parameters of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in a group of hypertensive patients with echocardiographic evidence diastolic dysfunction.

Timeline
Interventions
Initial dose of 5 mg titrated (doubling of previous dose) to optimal blood pressure. The dose was titrated by doubling the previous dosage to achieve BP less than or equal to 130/80 mm Hg at 2 weeks and 4 weeks. The mean dose of nebivolol used week 4 through week 10 was 7.8 mg. It should be noted that nebivolol was added to the subject's existing stable antihypertensive regimen which included a mean of 2 other medications.
