Effects of β-blocker selectivity on blood pressure variability and stroke: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVES: β-Blockers increase variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP), which probably explains their lesser effectiveness in preventing stroke vs myocardial infarction compared with other agents. This increase in variability in blood pressure (BP) may be particularly marked on non-cardioselec...
