metoprolol and Tetralogy of Fallot

metoprolol has been researched along with Tetralogy of Fallot in 2 studies

Metoprolol: A selective adrenergic beta-1 blocking agent that is commonly used to treat ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; and CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS.
metoprolol : A propanolamine that is 1-(propan-2-ylamino)propan-2-ol substituted by a 4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy group at position 1.

Tetralogy of Fallot: A combination of congenital heart defects consisting of four key features including VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECTS; PULMONARY STENOSIS; RIGHT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY; and a dextro-positioned AORTA. In this condition, blood from both ventricles (oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor) is pumped into the body often causing CYANOSIS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Chronic treatment of heart failure patients with beta-adrenoceptor antagonists leads to an up-regulation of cardiac beta-adrenoceptors, but in a subtype-selective fashion: beta 1-selective antagonists increase only cardiac beta 1-adrenoceptors, whereas non-selective antagonists increase both beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors."1.28Drug- and disease-induced changes of human cardiac beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors.
