Beta-Blockers in Clinical Practice

Beta-Blockers in Clinical Practice: Insights from Contemporary Research is a comprehensive compilation of scientific journal articles that delve into the diverse applications and implications of beta-blockers in medical treatments. This anthology investigates the role of beta-blockers across a spectrum of conditions including chronic heart failure, hypertension in older adults, and their emerging significance in oncology. The book highlights an Ethiopian study that explores the optimization of beta-blocker dosages in chronic heart failure patients, uncovering significant gaps in clinical practice adherence despite established guidelines. A systematic review examines the risk-benefit balance of beta-blockers for hypertension treatment in older adults, pushing clinicians to reassess traditional practices. Noteworthy articles discuss the protective association of beta-blockers in melanoma and metastatic colorectal cancer patients, spurring new interdisciplinary discussions between oncologists and cardiologists. Additionally, articles address the pharmacological safety of beta-blockers in patients with respiratory conditions such as COPD and asthma, and their tailored use in specific scenarios like preoperative care and rheumatoid arthritis post-myocardial infarction. Through systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and observational studies, this collection encourages medical professionals to challenge conventional wisdom and embrace a continuously evolving approach to patient care. By presenting rigorous scientific inquiry and nuanced explorations, this book serves as a valuable resource illuminating the multifaceted effects of beta-blockers in contemporary clinical practice.Quality Research Publishing is dedicated to making knowledge more accessible to the general public by curating a topical compilation of the latest research on various subjects and providing plain language summaries.Each of the articles in this book is available individually and digitally without cost.
