The molecular cytologic research progress of Carvedilol on myocardial and vascular injury / 医学研究生学报

Carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with additional blockade of alpha_(1)-adrenoceptors.It has been applied in the treatment of hypertention、stable angina pectoris、chronic heart failure.In addition,Carvedilol exerts antioxidant and anti-apoptosis effects,it can inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation、migration and neointimal formation following vascular injury.The article makes a review on the molecular cytologic mechanism of Carvedilol in these aspects.
