title: [Effects of nebivolol on microcirculation, platelet aggregation and blood viscosity in patients with essential hypertension].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess effects of a selective beta1-adrenoreceptor blocker acting in part via nitric oxide nebivolol on microcirculation, platelet aggregation and blood viscosity.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension (mean age 54,1-/+9,3 years).
  
  
  METHODS
  Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, laser doppler flowmetry, registration of spontaneous and ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Nebivolol (5 mg/day) or its combination with hydrochlorothiazide (12,5 mg/day) were given for 3 months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Treatment with nebivolol caused significant reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Spontaneous and low dose ADP-induced platelet aggregation significantly decreased during treatment while blood viscosity did not change. In patients with hyperemic and spastic-hyperemic hemodynamic type of microcirculation improvement of microcirculation occurred due to changes of myogenic tone of arterioles and precapillary sphincters and 'damping' properties of resistance arterioles.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In patients with essential hypertension hypotensive action of nebivolol was associated with antiaggregation effect and improvement of blood flow in microvascular networks.
