| Core Tip |
This review summarizes the effect and usage of β2-agonist in obstructive airway disease, addressing the benefits and potential risks of β2-agonist. The review also looks at the safety of β-blocker for cardiovascular disease in patients with obstructive airway disease. There is also emerging evidence that non-selective β-blockers with inverse agonism ironically can have long-term beneficial effects in obstructive airway disease beyond cardiovascular protection. Further trials are urgently needed in this field as it might lead to a dramatic turnaround in clinical practice for obstructive airway diseases as has already been seen in the usage of β-blockers for heart failure. |
