The study found that mirabegron treatment did not have adverse effects on blood pressure and pulse rate in patients with overactive bladder. However, some patients experienced an increase in systolic blood pressure after treatment, suggesting the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring during mirabegron treatment.
Background and Objectives: To determine changes in the blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate (PR) before and after the administration of mirabegron in real-world clinical practice for patients with overactive bladder (OAB). Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in patients newly diagnosed with OAB. Before and 12 weeks after mirabegron treatment, we evaluated the effects on BP and PR. An overall examination was conducted, and the patients were divided into two groups according to their age: a young group (<65 years old) and an old group (>= 65 years old). Results: A total of 263 patients were enrolled in this study. In the overall and intragroup comparisons, the systolic BP (SBP) did not change significantly after mirabegron administration. However, an increase in SBP of >= 10 mmHg was observed in 53 (20.2%), 4 (7.4%), and 49 (23.4%) in the entire group, young group, and old group, respectively (p = 0.009). Regarding diastolic BP, a significant decrease after the treatment was detected in entire (71.2 +/- 11.4 versus 69.8 +/- 10.7 mmHg; p = 0.041) and old patients (71.5 +/- 10.6 versus 69.5 +/- 10.2 mmHg; p = 0.012). There was no significant change in PR in our study population. Further examination using a propensity match score revealed that age was the risk factor for the increase in SBP after mirabegron administration. Conclusions: Mirabegron does not have any adverse effects on BP and PR. However, since some patients in this study had elevated SBP after administration, we suggest regular BP monitoring during mirabegron treatment.
