Short-term (512 RR intervals) heart rate variability was assessed at rest in supine position at admission and after 1 week of regular use of hydrophilic atenolol (n=40) or lipophilic metoprolol (n=35). Dose of β-blockers was titrated to suppress myocardial ischemia and to decrease heart ...
As with metoprolol, atenolol is preferable to non-selective β-blockers in patients with asthma or diabetes mellitus. Atenolol has been well tolerated in most patients, its profile of adverse reactions generally resembling that of other β-blocking drugs, although its low lipid solubility and ...
