Summary
At hemodynamic level, the greater affinity of bisoprolol by the beta 1 receptor in theory
could improve the peripheral arterial perfusion and could have a greater antihypertensive
effect. At the same time, this could carry objectifiable improvements in the vascular tree,
such as the level of arterial stiffness.
This study attempts to mark the hemodynamic differences in the same individual with
hypertension and metabolic syndrome who will be exposed to both drugs at different moments.
Parameters will be objectified with impedance cardiography, pulse wave velocity and central
blood pressure assessment before and after taking each one of the drugs. The results will be
compared to the baseline data and between themselves.
