ABSTRACT Background Beta-blockers and inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system improve survival and reduce morbidity in people with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. There is uncertainty whether these treatments are beneficial for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and a comprehensive review of the evidence is required. Objectives To assess the effects of beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Search methods We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase and two clinical trial registries on 25 July 2017 to identify eligible studies. Reference lists from primary studies and review articles were checked for additional studies. There were no language or date restrictions. Selection criteria We included randomised controlled trials with a parallel group design enrolling adult participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, defined by a left ventricular ejection fraction of greater than 40 percent. Data collection and analysis Two review authors independently selected studies for inclusion and extracted data. The outcomes assessed included cardiovascular mortality, heart failure hospitalisation, hyperkalaemia, all-cause mortality and quality of life. Risk ratios (RR) and, where possible, hazard ratios (HR) were calculated for dichotomous outcomes. For continuous data, mean difference (MD) or standardised mean difference (SMD) were calculated. We contacted trialists where neccessary to obtain missing data.

    CURRENT DRUG THERAPY DONALD G. VIDT, MD AND ALAN BAKST, PharmD, EDITORS Alpha^ and beta^blocking agents: pharmacology and properties PROFESSOR B.N.C. PRICHARD • Adrenergic receptors have been separated into alpha and beta groups, which have then been further subdivided. Agents have been developed that block each type of receptor with varying degrees of specificity between the sub-types, leading to differences in pharmacodynamic profile. A more recent innovation has been the development of multiple action beta-blocking drugs, ie, those not only blocking the beta receptors but also posessing a peripheral vasodilator effect that may be due to alpha blockade, beta-2 stimulation, or a vasodilator action independent of either alpha or beta receptors. • INDEX TERMS: ALPHA BLOCKERS; BETA BLOCKERS; HYPERTENSION • CLEVE CLIN ] MED 1991; 58:33 7-350 HE CONCEPT that binding of Rosenblueth suggested that a transmitter released at catecholamines to receptors leads to differ- sympathetic nerve endings produced either inhibitory ing responses was first described by Langley, or excitatory responses as a result of combination with who in 1905 noted that a cell may make sympathin I or sympathin E at the receptor.3 Tmotor or inhibitory substances or both, and that "the The current classification of alpha and beta respon- effect of a nerve impulse depends upon the proportion ses is based on the classic work of Ahlquist,4 who of the two kinds of receptive substance which is af- studied six sympathomimetic amines and found two fected by the impulse."1 In 1906, Dale reported that patterns of reactivity.
