Abstract
Background: Inflammation and oxidative stress contribute to persistent heart failure (CHF). Bisoprolol is better than carvedilol at protecting CHF patients' myocardium, according to our earlier clinical trial. Low high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T showed this (hsTnT).Materials and Methods: From the 87 people who took part in the trial, 48 (26 in the bisoprolol group and 22 in the carvedilol group) were included in this study because they had measurements of derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) as an indicator of oxidative stress at the beginning and end of the trial.
Results: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a marker of inflammation, went down in both groups, but the drop in the bisoprolol group was bigger than the drop in the carvedilol group. Both groups also had a drop in d-ROMs, but the drop in the bisoprolol group was not as big as the drop in the carvedilol group. The change in hsTnT was linked to the change in hsCRP for all 48 patients (R = 0.467, p = 0.003).
Conclusion: Bisoprolol might be better than carvedilol at reducing inflammation, but carvedilol might be better at reducing oxidative stress than bisoprolol. Patients with CHF could benefit from the right use of bisoprolol or carvedilol based on their own pathophysiology.
