ABSTRACT
Celiprolol is a 'third generation' beta-blocking agent which is claimed to avoid problems associated with simpler beta-blockers, such as vasoconstriction, bronchoconstriction and myocardial depression. A double-blind randomized study was undertaken in 30 patients with coronary artery disease and hypertension to compare the haemodynamic effects of single intravenous doses of 0.15 mg kg-1 celiprolol (N = 16) and metoprolol (N = 14). Following celiprolol administration, the tendency was for myocardial function to improve or remain unchanged; left ventricular end-systolic volume and ejection fraction improved significantly (P less than 0.05). However, following metoprolol administration, the tendency was for myocardial function to deteriorate, with significant falls in cardiac output (P less than 0.05), ejection fraction (P less than 0.05) and velocity of circumferential shortening (P less than 0.01). There was a tendency for peripheral resistance to fall slightly with celiprolol but to rise markedly with metoprolol (pNS). Left ventricular pressure-volume loops showed improved performance with celiprolol and deterioration with metoprolol. Both drugs resulted in increases in coronary flow and myocardial oxygen consumption (P less than 0.05). Metoprolol, but not celiprolol, resulted in some deterioration in regional left ventricular wall motion (P less than 0.05). Celiprolol appears to be haemodynamically advantageous compared to metoprolol in patients with coronary artery disease and hypertension.
