520 _aBeta-blockers have numerous indications in the general population and are strongly recommended in heart failure, post-myocardial infarction and arrhythmias. In hemodialysis patients, their use is based on weak evidence because of the lack of a sufficient number of randomized clinical trials. The strongest evidence is based on two trials. The first showed better survival with carvedilol in hemodialysis patients with four sessions per week and systolic heart failure. The second found reduced cardiovascular morbidity with atenolol compared to lisinopril in mostly black hypertensive hemodialysis patients. No clinical trials exist regarding myocardial infarction. Large retrospective studies have assessed the benefits of beta-blockers in hemodialysis. A large cohort of hemodialysis patients with new-onset heart failure showed better survival when treated with carvedilol, bisoprolol or metoprolol. Another recent one of 20,064 patients found out that metoprolol compared to carvedilol was associated with less allcause mortality. There is still uncertainty also regarding the impact of dialysability of beta-blockers on patient’s survival. On top of that, many observations suggested that beta-blockers were associated with a reduced rate of sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients but recent data show a link between bradycardia and sudden cardiac death questioning the benefit of beta-blockade in this population. Finally, what we know for sure so far is that beta-blockers should be avoided in patients with intradialytic hypotension associated with bradycardia.
