Nebivolol is the only vasodilatory β1-selective blocker; the vasodilatory effect is nitric oxide-mediated and activated via β3-agonism. |
Nebivolol effectively lowers blood pressure either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs. |
The unique pharmacological profile of nebivolol coupled with clinical evidence suggests potential utility in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. |
