Abstract
The paper is focused on clarifying the role of using β-blockers in modern treatment of arterial hypertension (AH) in patients with comorbidities. Despite the fact that the majority of clinical guidelines on the treatment tactics for AH consider β-blockers as the drugs prescribed when there are certain additional indications, nowadays an attempt is made to return to the distant past of cardiology, when β-blockers played a role of first line antihypertensive drugs. The paper provides evidence-based arguments in favor of the balanced approach to prescription of β-blockers to patients with AH. At the same time, the paper presents the results of the recent analysis involving the data on the participants of the large randomized trial focused on assessing the effects of dapagliflozin in patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction suggesting frequent use of β-blockers in clinical practice for patients with AH and concomitant disorders, as well as the β-blockers’ safety and probable efficacy. The paper provides the meta-analysis results allowing one to estimate antihypertensive effect of β-blockers, the use of which makes it possible to reduce systolic blood pressure by almost 8—10 mm Hg. Furthermore, the paper discusses an opportunity to quickly obtain information about the role of certain drugs for treatment of AH using ChatGPT that is considered to be a promising information technology. The paper also provides data on the use of the doses of β-blockers that are not high enough and does not allow to achieve optimal heart rate in clinical practice.
