Effect of beta-blocker therapy on functional status in patients with heart failure--a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND The results of randomised control trials (RCTs) evaluating the effect of beta-blockers on functional status in patients with chronic heart failure are conflicting. AIM To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs evaluating the effect of beta-blockers on New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification and exercise tolerance in chronic heart failure. METHODS AND RESUL...
متن کاملNew advances in beta-blocker therapy in heart failure
The use of β-blockers (BB) in heart failure (HF) has been considered a contradiction for many years. Considering HF simply as a state of inadequate systolic function, BB were contraindicated because of their negative effects on myocardial contractility. Nevertheless, evidence collected in the past years have suggested that additional mechanisms, such as compensatory neuro-humoral hyperactivatio...
متن کاملBeta-blocker use in decompensated heart failure.
Despite the current advances in treatment, acute decompensated heart failure accounts for more than 1 million hospital admissions annually. Many of the patients hospitalized are already receiving long-term treatment with beta-blockers. For patients who receive full dose beta-blocker therapy and suffer acute decompensated heart failure, clinicians face two key questions: what to do, if anything,...
متن کاملEffect of beta-blocker therapy on survival in patients with severe aortic regurgitation results from a cohort of 756 patients.
OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the effect of beta-blocker (BB) therapy on survival in patients with severe aortic regurgitation (AR). BACKGROUND Beta-blockers are thought to be contraindicated in patients with AR because a slower heart rate increases the duration of diastole during which AR occurs. But AR also causes neuroendocrine activation similar to a heart failure state for which BB...
متن کاملThe effect of beta-blocker therapy on quality of life in heart failure patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
PURPOSE To assess the impact of beta-blocker therapy on quality of life (QoL) in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients receiving optimal standard medication. METHODS Randomised controlled trials (RCT) assessing QoL with a generic or disease specific instrument were identified by searching Medline, Embase, Pascal, Cochrane Controlled Trial database, and the bibliographies of the published artic...
