P4.06 DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS OF NEBIVOLOL AND ATENOLOL ON CAROTID ARTERIAL WAVE INTENSITY
Background The hemodynamic effects of the vasodilator β-blocker nebivolol may differ from those of a conventional agent. Wave intensity analysis can describe the energy transported by wavefronts in the arterial system in the direction of wave propagation. A non-invasive ultrasound-based technique [1...
