What should we know about the use of beta blockers in chr HF?
Answer
• Decrease rates of sudden cardiac death (less ischemia, less abn heart rhythm)
• Decrease LV remodelling
• Improve BP in long-term
• Decrease mitral valve regurgitation
• Caveat:
– Negative inotropic effect can paradoxically
worsen HF in decompensated patients (so only start in well compensated pts who can tolerate)
