Experience of commencing Carvedilol in elderly patients with heart failure in a routine outpatient clinic.

abstract：AIMS:Exercise oscillatory breathing (EOB) is a ventilatory abnormality that occurs in ∼20% of heart failure (HF) patients and carries a very unfavourable prognosis. Pulmonary vasoconstriction has been suggested to be involved in this disorder. We hypothesized that modulation of pulmonary vascular hypertone by oversigna...
