摘要：
The efficacy of beta blockade on improvement of survival and symptoms in congestive heart failure is now proven. It improves the functioning of the heart and has shown usefulness in a wide range of patients. When used properly—with careful initiation at a low dose, slow and watched titration, and the ultimate prescription of doses known to be effective—metoprolol, bisoprolol, and carvedilol should lead to a marked improvement in quality and length of life.
