بسم هللاا الرحمن الرحيم 1 Use of Beta-Blockers In patients With Diabetes Mellitus Professor Taalat Abd El-Aatty Diabetes & Metabolism Alexandria University Questions? 1. Are β-blockers contraindicated in diabetes mellitus? 2. Are β-blockers still considered as first line treatment of hypertension? 3. Are β-blockers the first line treatment for control of hypertension in patients with diabetes? BETA-BLOCKER • Beta 2 – on bronchial and vascular smooth muscle - relaxation • Increased in heart failure • Beta 3 – mediate vasodilatation by release of nitric oxide Antihypertensive effect – 1.Inhibition of prejunctional beta receptors on the terminal neurons 2.Reduction of central adrenergic outflow 3.Decreased Renin-angiotensin system –beta receptors mediate renin release • Thus decreases after load and wall stress Beta-Blockers: Side Effects • • • • • • • • Dizziness, fatigue. Intermittent claudication, Airway obstruction in asthma. Heart block. Raynaud’s phenomenon. Erectile dysfunction (ED) Hypoglycaemia. Increase in insulin resistance or new-onset diabetes. BB with VD Properties Beta-Blockers: Contraindications • Asthma. • Atrioventricular block. Diabetes PER SE is Not a Contraindication for use of β.blocker Beta-Blockers • Increased insulin resistance and a higher incidence of new-onset diabetes mellitus were reported in early trials with beta-blockers. • However, more modern agents such as bisoprolol and carvedilol appear to have no detrimental effect on glucose metabolism. Beta-Blockers • Existing diabetes mellitus is not a contraindication to beta-blockade, although b1selective agents are preferable in insulindependent patients, to avoid masking hypoglycaemia. Beta-Blockers • Patients with diabetes and concomitant CHF or CAD are among those who can benefit most from beta-blockers. • European guidelines recommend β-blockers for all diabetic patients with acute cardiac syndrome, post-MI, and in CHF. • Post-MI beta-blockade reduces mortality by 23% in diabetic patients. • In CHF studies, β-blockers have consistently shown a significant benefit in patients with diabetes. Meta-analysis by Haas et al. showed that compared with placebo, β-blockers for CHF significantly reduces all-cause mortality by 16% in patients with DM. COPERNICUS Study In the Carvedilol Prospective Randomized Cumulative Survival (COPERNICUS) study of carvedilol, in patients with advanced HF, allcause mortality was reduced equivalently in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Now back to the 1st question 1. Are β-blockers contraindicated in diabetes mellitus? * β-blockers are not contraindicated in patients with diabetes mellitus. * β-blockers are highly indicated in diabetics with CAD or CHF. Questions? 1. Are β-blockers contraindicated in diabetes mellitus? 2. Are β-blockers still considered as first line treatment of hypertension? 3. Are β-blockers the first life treatment for control of hypertension in patients with diabetes?

BMJ. 2009 May 19 Recent Guidelines 2009 Large-scale meta-analyses of available data confirm that major antihypertensive drug classes, (diuretics, ACE inhibitors, calcium antagonists, angiotensin receptor antagonists, and b-blockers) do not differ significantly for their overall ability to reduce BP in hypertension. There is also no evidence that major drug classes differ in their ability to protect against overall cardiovascular risk or cause-specific cardiovascular events, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, calcium antagonists, angiotensin receptor antagonists and b-blockers can all be considered suitable for initiation of antihypertensive treatment, as well as for its maintenance. Keeping the number of drug options large increases the chance of BP control in a larger fraction of hypertensives. Cardiovascular protection by antihypertensive treatment substantially depends on BP lowering per se, regardless of how it is obtained. The traditional ranking of drugs into first, second, third and subsequent choice, has now little scientific justification and should be avoided. In the absence of compiling indications Use any anti-hypertensive from the 5 major classes. To answer our 2nd question 1. Are β-blockers contraindicated in diabetes mellitus? 2. Are β-blockers still considered as first line treatment of hypertension? * The answer is yes according to large recent meta-analysis and the revised European guidelines in 2009. Questions? 1. Are β-blockers contraindicated in diabetes mellitus? 2. Are β-blockers still considered as first line treatment of hypertension? 3. Are β-blockers the first life treatment for control of hypertension in patients with diabetes? United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) • Design: Randomized, controlled trial comparing an ACE inhibitor with a b-blocker in preventing complications of type 2 diabetes. • Population: 1148 patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes. • Treatment: 758 patients allocated to tight control of BP: Captopril (n=400) Atenolol (n=358) UKPDS 50 Patients With Events (%) Less tight blood pressure control Captopril 40 Atenolol P=0.43 30 20 10 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Years from Randomization 7 8 9 No. of patients at risk: Captopril Atenolol 400 358 UKPDS Group. BMJ. 1998;317:713-720 327 314 257 237 124 112 UKPDS • Conclusion: Captopril and atenolol produced similar reductions in BP in hypertensive diabetics. Both drugs were equally effective in reducing risk of: o Fatal and non-fatal diabetic complications o Death related to diabetes o Heart failure o Progression of retinopathy JNC 7: β-blockers can be used in diabetics Recommended Drugs Compelling Indication* DIURETI C BB ACEI ARB Heart failure Post-MI • • • • • • Diabetes • • • • • • Chronic kidney disease CCB Aldo ANT • • • ADA 2011 ADA Recommendation Level of evidence C (C) • Pharmacologic therapy for patients with diabetes and hypertension should include either an ACE inhibitor or ARB. • If needed to achieve blood pressure targets, a thiazide diuretic should be added to those with an estimatedGRF ≥30 mL/min and a loop diuretic for those with an estimated GFR <30. Level of evidence C: Supportive evidence from poorly controlled or uncontrolled studies. Evidence from RCTS with ≥ 1 major or ≥ 3 minor methodological flaws that could invalidate results. Evidence from observational studies with high potential for bias. Evidence from case series or case reports. Conflicting evidence with the weight of evidence supporting the recommendation. If Blood Pressure >130/80 mm Hg in Diabetes + Albuminuria START with ACEI or ARB ± diuretic) If BP Still Not at Goal (130/80 mm Hg) Add CCB or b blocker If BP Still Not at Goal (130/80 mm Hg) Consider low dose aldosterone antagonists# If BP Still Not at Goal (130/80 mm Hg) Add Vasodilator (hydralazine, minoxidil) European Guidelines Meta-analyses of available trials show that in diabetes all major antihypertensive drug classes protect against cardiovascular complications, probably because of the protective effect of BP lowering per se. They can thus all be considered for treatment. Questions? 1. Are β-blockers contraindicated in diabetes mellitus? 2. Are β-blockers still considered as first line treatment of hypertension? 3. Are β-blockers the first life treatment for control of hypertension in patients with diabetes? * Definitely not to start with in diabetics with micro-abluminuria in which ACE.I or ARBs are proved to have more benfit. Conclusion 1. Are β-blockers contraindicated in diabetes mellitus? NO 2. Are β-blockers still considered as first line treatment of hypertension? YES 3. Are β-blockers the first life treatment for control of hypertension in patients with diabetes? NO THANK YOU
