Prevention of first esophageal variceal bleeding
In patients with small esophageal varices the risk of variceal bleeding is low, and data from 7 RCTS show that
it is not decreased by NSBBs (
Fig. 4.9). However, this low risk only applies to patients with compensated cirrho-
sis, since patients with decompensated cirrhosis and small varices, have a risk of bleeding close to patients with
compensated cirrhosis and large varices
[185]. Therefore, taking into account that in patients with compensated
cirrhosis NSBBs decrease the risk of decompensation, and that in patients with decompensated cirrhosis the risk
of bleeding is high and decreases with NSBBs, it is reasonable to apply NSBBs to all patients with small varices
in the absence of contraindications. Indeed, an individual patient metaanalysis has shown that the higher the
baseline risk of bleeding, the higher the absolute risk reduction of bleeding with NSBBs (
Table 4.5) [179].
In patients with medium large or large varices, with a much higher baseline risk of bleeding, a metaanalysis of
eight randomized-controlled trials (RCT) comparing NSBB versus no therapy/placebo
[152] has shown that
NSBBs are effective for the prevention of first variceal bleeding (from 24% to 15% after a median follow-up of
2 years). Furthermore, a metaanalysis of 19 RCTs comparing NSBB to endoscopic variceal ligation
[186] showed
that NSBB are as effective as EVL in good quality trials. Two trials compared EVL to carvedilol showing either a
greater efficacy of carvedilol
[187] or comparable efficacy [188]. Therefore either propranolol, nadolol, or carvedi-
lol can be used as first-line therapy to prevent a first variceal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis and medium to
large varices.

Preventing esophageal variceal rebleeding
A metaanalysis that included 12 RCTs of NSBBs in secondary prophylaxis showed that NSBBs prevent rebleed-
ing and improve survival
[181]. Importantly, sensitivity analysis showed that the benefit of increased long-term sur-
vival was more pronounced in those with severe liver disease. Along these lines, a recent individual patient
metaanalysis comparing the combination of NSBBs 1 endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) versus EVL alone to
prevent variceal rebleeding, showed that in patients with decompensated cirrhosis (ChildPugh B and C)
the addition of NSBBs to EVL improved both rebleeding and survival
[189]. This data underscores the impor-
tance of NSBBs in secondary prophylaxis, which are at very high risk of rebleeding.
Beta-blockers in acute on chronic liver failure
In a prospective observational study in 349 hospitalized patients with ACLF
[190] by Mookerjee et al., patients
on NSBBs had a reduced 28-day mortality (24 vs 34%, p 5 0.048 ). Of note, patients in the NSBBs group had lower
grades of ACLF, and the median propranol ol dose was relatively low (40 mg). Although the exact mechanism by
which NSBBs may improve outcomes is speculative, the authors proposed NSBBs reduced systemic inflamma-
tion. This association was also suggested in two recent studies
[191,192], in which patients admitted with decom-
pensated cirrhosis on NSBBs had a lower white cell count. Finally, a recent longitudinal mechanistic study
showed that NSBBs treatment, especially in ChildPugh C patients, achieved a decrease in inflammatory mar-
kers that was independent of the effect on portal pressure
[158]. However, the lack of a control group untreated
with NSBBs makes this study difficult to interpret.
A very recent randomized trial assessing the effects of carvedilol in acute on chronic liver failure has shown
that it might improve short-term survival, an effect that was not mediated by a decrease in the rate of variceal
bleeding, that was very low and similar in placebo and carvedilol groups
[178]. Interestingly, the beneficial
effects of beta-blockers were mainly mediated by a decrease in infections and kidney failure, again suggesting
potential nonhemodynamic effects of carvedilol in advanced cirrhosis.
Bleeding from gastric varices
The effects of NSBBs on bleeding from gastric varices, an infrequent complication in cirrhosis, are much less
certain. Evidence is limited to one RCT for primary prevention of bleeding and two RCTs for the prevention of
rebleeding.
In primary prevention, a small RCT compared NSBBs versus endoscopic obliteration with cyanoacrylate ver-
sus no treatment
[193], showing that endoscopic treatment was superior to NSBBs, with no differences in sur-
vival. In patients with previous bleeding, an RCT compared endoscopic obliteration with cyanoacrylate with
NSBBs for the prevention of rebleeding
[194], showing again superiority of endoscopy treatment, both in rebleed-
ing and survival. Finally, an RCT compared cyanoacrylate alone versus the combination of cyanoacrylate and
NSBBs and did not demonstrate a benefit for the addition of NSBBs
[195]. The scarcity of data and the lower effi-
cacy shown as compared to cyanoacrylate injection makes the role of NSBBs for gastric varices uncertain. Since
cyanoacrylate treatment is not available in many centers, NSBBs are still used for primary or secondary preven-
tion by many practitioners.
Beta-blockers for portal hypertensive gastropathy
Portal hypertensive gastropathy causes acute or chronic gastric bleeding and it is related to a marked dilata-
tion of the vasculature of the gastric mucosa and submucosa, together with an increased blood flow
[196].An
RCT showed lower rates of rebleeding with propranolol as compared to placebo
[183] and therefore NSBBs are
the first-line therapy in this context.
The concept of a therapeutic window of nonselective beta-blockers in decompensated cirrhosis
Soon after the first reports of propranolol in the treatment of varices, caution was raised regarding the poten-
tial of NSBBs to decrease cardiac output and put a patient with ascites at risk of hepatorenal syndrome
[197].
However, none of the RCTs comparing NSBBs with placebo showed a safety signal either on survival or kidney
function in most cases, patients with refractory ascites. This question was further emphasized after the publica-
tion of two key observational studies, showing worse outcomes in patients on NSBBs with refractory ascites
[198], SBP [199] or alcohol-associated hepatitis [200]. This led to the concept of a therapeutic window for NSBBs

[201], and to several subsequent studies, mostly retrospective, which showed conflicting results. Two different
metaanalysis of these observational studies showed no association between NSBBs a nd mortality in patients with
refractory ascites but with significant heterogeneity
[202,203]. Furthermore, the above-mentioned RCT comparing
initiation of carvedilol (vs placebo) in patients with AoCLF, which are at the end of the spectrum of cirrhosis
severity showed a decreased 28-day mortality, with additional benefits, somewhat unexpectedly, on the incidence
of AKI. Of note, carvedilo l was started at 3.125 mg BID, and was carefully uptitrated to a maximum of 12.5-mg
BID, provided that SBP did not decrease below 90 mmHg and HR was maintained above 55 bpm.
A very recent study
[165] addressed in detail the differences in effects of NSBBs on hemodynamics between
patients with diuretic responsive ascites and those with diuretic refractory ascites. As opposed to patients with
diuretic responsive ascites, treatment with NSBBs decreased renal perfusion pressure below the critical threshold
for autoregulation (65 mmHg) in 55% of the patients. A major finding of this study was that while the decrease
in systolic function with NSBBs was mild in patients with responsive ascites, it was much more pronounced in
patients with refractory ascites (
Fig. 4.10). This suggests that in patients with refractory ascites the increase in car-
diac output is highly dependent on sympathetic activation, and hence the major neg ative inotropic effect of
NSBBs.

and renal perfusion pressure (RPP) (B) after 4 weeks on NSBBs in patients with diuretic responsive ascites and diuretic refractory ascites.
In patients with refractory ascites there was a marked reduction in systolic function with NSBBs, while this was not the case in patients with
nonrefractory ascites. In addition, in patients with refractory ascites NSBBs reduced RPP below 65 mmHg in 55% of the patients. Source:

A question arises on how to identify patients in which NSBBs might do harm. A recent study [204] showed
that patients with a low left ventricular stroke work index (LVSWI) on NSBBs have increased waitlist mortality,
but this measurement is unfeasible in day-to-day practice. Arterial pressure might be a much simpler biomarker
to determine when the therapeutic window for NSBBs closes. This was assessed in a prospective observational
study
[205] showing that a MAP , 65 mmHg, but not SBP or AoCLF, defined a threshold below which NSBBs
did not have benefit on transplant-free survival. Similar results were observ ed using a systolic blood pressure of
90 mmHg
[206] which is recommended in current guidelines as a threshold for dose reduction or discontinuation
of NSBBs
[137,207,208].
Table 4.6 summarizes practical recommendations for the use of NSBBs in patients with decompensated
cirrhosis.
Summary and current recommendations
NSBBs have shown beneficial effects in placebo-controlled trials across the natural history of cirrhosis. NSBBs
require titration and the use of fixed doses of NSBBs is discouraged
[209]. In addition, a need for dose reduction
might be predicted in patients treated with propranolol who develop progressive liver insufficiency (as occurs,
e.g., in patients with alcoholic hepatitis), and in patients treated with nadolol that develop kidney failure, inde-
pendently of the cause. In patients with advanced circulatory dysfunction (i.e., refractory ascites) NSBBs might
do harm, since they might markedly decrease cardiac output and renal perfusion pressure (
Fig. 4.11). Systolic
blood pressure is an excellent biomarker to determine when the dose of NSBBs needs to be decreased or when
they need to be disconti nued. The indiscriminate discontinuation of NSBBs in all patients with refractory ascites
or SBP is not warranted and would deprive patients from the hemodynamic and nonhemodynamic benefits of
these drugs.
Practice guidelines from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases
[176] recommend that in
patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites, NSBBs (propran olol, nadolol) should be used cautiously with close
monitoring of blood pressure, serum sodium, and serum creatinine. NSBBs should be reduced/discontinued if a
patient with refractory ascites develops systolic blood pressure ,90 mmHg, hyponatremia , 130 mEq/L or AKI.
Re-initiation of NSBB should be considered after these abnormal parameters return to baseline values following
resolution of the precipitant; in such cases, dose should be re-titrated, starting at the lowest dose. The consensus
also makes emphasis on the need to reassess the risks/benefits of NSBB periodically on each patient, as contrain-
dications may be absent when the therapy is initiated but may appear later. The guidelines additionally suggest
avoiding doses of more than 160 mg in the case of propranolol or 80 mg when using nadolol in patients with
refractory ascites and SBP
[176]. Although one RCT has shown a benefit of carvedilol in patients with acute on
TABLE 4.6 Recommendations for the use of NSBBs in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
Patients on beta-blocker treatment for primary or secondary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding
• NSBBs require careful titration (up and down). Fixed doses are discouraged.
• In patients with adverse effects/intolerance consider a decrease in the dose or NSBB before discontinuing the treatment.
• Reassess the risks/benefits of NSBBs periodically on each patient, as contraindications may be absent when the therapy is initiated but
may appear later.
• Monitor closely sodium, blood pressure, and creatinine in patients with refractory ascites.
• There is no need to discontinue NSBBs in case of patients with refractory ascites and/or SBP if there is no evidence of severe circulatory
dysfunction (MAP .65 mmHg, SBP .90 mmHg, absence of hyponatremia, absence of functional kidney failure).
Discontinue/reduce NSBBs
• In case of circulatory dysfunction in patients with refractory ascites (MAP ,65 mmHg or SBP ,90 mmHg, hyponatremia ,130 mEq/L or
acute kidney injury).
• Temporarily hold NSBBs in patients with bleeding or septic shock.
After discontinuation/reduction of NSBBs
• Re-initiation/up-titration of NSBBs should be considered after evidence of circulatory dysfunction is over and after resolution of the
precipitant. Dose should be re-titrated, starting at the lowest dose.
• In case NSBBs cannot be resumed, consider alternative treatment. In patients on primary prophylaxis: switch to EVL. In patients on
secondary prophylaxis: continue with EVL and consider TIPS when indicated.

chronic liver failure, carvedilol has a stronger hypotensive effect than traditional NSBBs [173] and should be
used with great caution in patients with advanced cirrhosis until confirmatory trials verify these benefits.

FIGURE 4.11 Simplified representation of the progressive deterioration in cirrhosis hemodynamics and potential effects of nonselec-
tive beta-blockers (NSBBs) in advanced cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is characterized by a progressive decrease in systemic vascular resistance, mainly
due to splanchnic vasodilation. This is compensated by an increase in cardiac output that initially maintains mean arterial pressure. When the
increase in cardiac output cannot further compensate for vasodilation, severe circulatory dysfunction ensues with hypotension, decreased
renal perfusion pressure, and acute kidney injury. NSBBs interfere with the expected increase in cardiac output, especially in the more
advanced stages. This is partly compensated by an increase in systemic vascular resistance, but which may shift the threshold for significant
kidney hypoperfusion to the right. This would be signaled by a decrease in arterial pressure.
