Effect of Genetic Polymorphisms on Response to Beta Blocker Therapy in Egyptian Patients

November 30, 2022 updated by: Mohamed Saleh Fayed

Beta-blockers represent a cornerstone for the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Their protective effect is based on the negative inotropic and chronotropic features, which have been tested in a large number of randomized controlled trials, both in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and in those with stable angina, demonstrating a reduction of adverse cardiovascular events, a relief of symptoms and a reduction of myocardial ischemia

However, considerable interpatient variability in response to β-blockers has been reported which indicates that a considerable proportion of β-blocker-treated patients do not achieve the warranted cardio protection with β- blockers. This highlights the importance of identifying biomarkers associated with variability in response to β-blockers to improve the current approach for β- blocker selection, which seems to be suboptimal.

This study aims to study the effect of polymorphism in adrenergic beta receptors on beta-blocker response in Egyptian patients.
