This double-blind, randomized parallel group study investigated the effect of 6 months beta-adrenoceptor antagonist therapy with either metoprolol (beta 1-selective without intrinsic sympathomimetic activity [ISA]) or epanolol (beta 1-selective with ISA) on markers of endogenous fibrinolysis in 20 patients with chronic stable angina receiving concurrent treatment with nifedipine. Neither drug had an effect on tissue-type plasminogen activator or plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1). A significant correlation between fasting insulin and PAI-1 has previously been described and was confirmed in this study. The group treated with metoprolol showed a significant rise in fasting insulin after 6 months with no change in PAI-1. This suggests that the previously described link between these two may not be causal.
