A number of comparative studies have been performed with metoprolol, a β 1-selective "second-generation" β blocker, and carvedilol, a nonselective and vasodilatative "third-generation" β blocker.

Two protocols for switching between carvedilol, a third-generation nonselective agent with vasodilation through α 1 blockade, and a β 1-selective agent (e.g., metoprolol, atenolol) are described ...

All-cause mortality was 34% in the subjects treated with carvedilol and was 40% in the immediate-release metoprolol group (P =.0017; hazard ratio = 0.83, 95% CI, 0.74-0.93). The effect on ...

There is evidence to indicate that full adrenergic blockade by carvedilol improves survival and cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure compared with metoprolol treatment ...

According to healthcare company GoodRx, the eight most common generic beta blocker drugs are metoprolol, carvedilol, atenolol, propranolol, labetalol, bisoprolol, timolol and nadolol. Anyone ...

By contrast, a recent randomized, controlled trial shows less bleeding associated with the use of carvedilol compared with EBL. Portal hypertension is a life-threatening complication of cirrhosis ...
