This review presents the current data on the pleiotropic effects of beta-blockers in particular on the effect on bone mass and fracture development by means of increased bone fragility. In this article we discuss the mechanisms of action of beta-blockers on bone metabolism and their possible protective effect on bone tissue in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
