Can Carvedilol be used in someone with COPD?

Posted by beeman | Hyperlipidemia | Monday 31 August 2009 6:34 am

This is a case study.

The patient is a 62 y/o man complaining of decreased exercise tolerance. He suffered an MI 2 years ago for which he received PCI and a bare metal stent.. He has DM type II, COPD, and hyperlipidemia. Pertinent meds are verapamil ER 240mg daily, ISDN 30mg daily. He also takes NPH insulin for DM and albuterol and ipratropium for COPD. Also he is on aspirin 81mg daily.

His current ejection fraction is 30% and BP is 118/86. HR is 74 bpm, Scr is 1.4. BUN is 24 and Na and K are in normal limits.

I think the verapamil should be discontinued and replaced with carvedilol since it has been studied more in heart failure, but I’m worried about it affecting his COPD status. Can you tell me what suggestions you have? Please include references (or links) if you are using web resources.

Serious answers only please. Thank You!

What do you think of Obesity in America?

Posted by beeman | Uncategorized | Sunday 30 August 2009 6:20 pm

Do you think Obesity is measured correctly in America? I personally disagree with the BMI calculation and think it warps what defines obesity. If for example, you’re a 230 Ib. 6′1 male who can hardly pinch fat because of muscle, you’re still defines according to BMI as overweight! Who thought up this crap? And as I asked before, what do you think about the subject in general?
