About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive focused on measuring Beta-Blocker, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, COPD, Cardioselective

Eligibility Criteria

40 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 40 years of age or older
  • Mild to moderate COPD as defined by the American Thoracic Society
  • Current treatment with a beta-blocker for either hypertension, myocardial infarction, or congestive heart failure.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Recent (within 30 days) COPD exacerbation or requirement for oral steroid therapy within the last 6 months
  • Any history of ventilator support requirement for COPD
  • Patients with asthma or reactive airway disease (RAD) defined as obstructive lung disease with a >15% improvement in FEV1 with beta-agonist therapy
  • Relative or absolute contraindication to beta-blocker therapy
  • Exposure to any investigational drugs within the previous 30 days
  • Patients with any concurrent disease or condition, which in the judgment of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for participation in the study were excluded from this study

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Use of beta-blockers has proven beneficial in patients with hypertension, heart failure, and in people who have suffered a heart attack. The use in patients who have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and reactive airway disease, however, has been limited due to possible side effects such as worsening of lung function or increasing airway spasms and asthma attacks. The purpose of this study is to find out if patients with COPD can tolerate being on a beta-blocker at doses recommended for the treatment of heart disease conditions. This study also seeks to find out if a selective beta-1 receptor beta-blocker is better than a non-selective beta-blocker in patients with mild to moderate COPD.
