Study Notes

Rapibloc® Overview

Rapibloc® is a super-selective β1 intravenous adrenergic antagonist.
It has minimal impact on blood pressure and myocardial contractility (inotropy).

Unmet Medical Need

Specifically designed for life-critical situations requiring rapid heart rate reduction.
Particularly beneficial for patients with conditions like sepsis and heart failure.

Indications for Use

Effective in treating supraventricular tachycardia.
Rapid control of ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
Useful in perioperative and postoperative settings for short-term ventricular rate control.
Addresses non-compensatory sinus tachycardia when rapid heart rate intervention is necessary.
Applicable for patients with impaired left ventricular function (Low Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction - LVEF).
