Is heart rate reduction more important than target dose in chronic heart failure therapy with a beta-blocker?
Beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents (beta-blockers) are now well established as cornerstone therapy in patients with systolic chronic heart failure (CHF). Clinical data have overwhelmingly proven the beneficial effects of beta-blocker therapy in terms of improving patient prognosis, decreasing requirements for hospitalization, and postponing disease progression. However, it remains unclear what t...

متن کاملOptimized Treatment and Heart Rate Reduction in Chronic Heart Failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a syndrome that leads to poor outcome in advanced forms. The neurohormonal blockade modifies this natural history; however, it is often suboptimal. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess at what percentage cardiologists used to treating HF can prescribe target doses of drugs of proven efficacy. METHODS A total of 104 outpatients with systolic dysfuncti...
متن کاملBenefit of Heart Rate Reduction in Heart Failure
Epidemiological studies have suggested that life expectancy is inversely related to resting heart rate and that the risks of development of heart failure and sudden cardiac death strongly increase with higher resting heart rates [1]. After myocardial infarction, the reduction in mortality with β-blocker treatment was correlated with the extent of heart rate reduction, and in patients with heart...
