Effective and well tolerated across the cardiovascular continuum: The results of many trials in hypertension, CAD, and the large database of the unique Dilatrend(R) clinical trial programme in CHF demonstrate that Dilatrend(R) is effective across the entire cardiovascular continuum. Saves lives: Dilatrend(R)’s unique mode of action does transfer into saving lives. Compared to the conventional beta1-selective beta-blockers metoprolol and bisoprolol, Dilatrend(R) saves more lives as fewer patients need to be treated (number needed to treat (NNT) to save one life. Evidence base: Largest evidence base of any beta-blocker across the full spectrum of CHF. Good tolerability/safety profile: Dilatrend(R) consistently demonstrates fewer, and less serious side-effects than other cardiovascular agents, and is extremely well tolerated. It has demonstrated safety and efficacy in all patient populations, and when used in combination with other agents. Easy to use: Across the cardiovascular continuum, Dilatrend(R) has a practical and simple dosing schedule (once or twice daily), making it easy to use for patients and physicians. Dilatrend(R) amply fulfils all the criteria of the ideal beta-blocking agent. |
