* Blockade of compensatory sympathetic stimulation is associated with arrhythmic, ischemic, remodeling, and apoptotic benefits.
* [[Blockade]] of compensatory [[sympathetic]] stimulation is associated with [[arrhythmic]], [[ischemic]], [[remodeling]], and [[apoptotic]] benefits.

* Used as [[monotherapy]] or combined with conventional [[heart failure]] [[management]], [[beta blockers]] reduce the combined risk of [[morbidity]] and [[mortality]].
*[[Beta blocker]] therapy is recommended for ANY patient with reduced [[left ventricular ejection fraction]] (≤ 40%) regardless of the etiology of [[left ventricular systolic dysfunction]] (ischemic or nonischemic) or presence/absence of symptoms. Patients with or without [[heart failure]] (in other words, even those with asymptomatic [[left ventricular systolic dysfunction]]) are included in this recommendation.

*[[Beta blockers]] approved by the FDA for use in the treatment of [[heart failure]] are [[metoprolol succinate]] and [[carvedilol]].

Beta Blockers

Indications for Beta Blockers Use

A patient should be administered a "heart failure approved" or "evidence-based " beta blocker (metoprolol succinate[1], carvedilol, bisoprolol) if:

1. The Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) is ≤ 40%

or

2. There is a history of myocardial infarction (MI)[2]

Background


Dosing

Beta Blocker Starting dose Target dose
Bisoprolol 1.25 mg QD 10 mg QD
Carvedilol 3.125 mg BID 50 mg BID
Carvedilol CR 10 mg QD 80 mg QD
Metoprolol succinate (CR/XL) 12.5–25 mg QD 200 mg QD
Nebivolol 1.25 mg QD 10 mg QD

2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure Guideline (DO NOT EDIT) [3]

Beta Blockers

Class I
"1. In patients with HFrEF, with current or previous symptoms, use of 1 of the 3 beta blockers proven to reduce mortality (eg, bisoprolol, carvedilol,sustained-release metoprolol succinate) is recommended to reduce mortality and hospitalizations. [4][5][6](Level of Evidence: A) "
Class Value Statement: High Value
"2. In patients with HFrEF, with current or previous symptoms, beta blocker therapy provides high economic values. [7][8][9][10][11] (Level of Evidence: A) "
