Tolerability to beta-blocker therapy among heart failure patients in clinical practice.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Despite ample data from randomized clinical trials (RCTs), the management of advanced heart failure (HF) varies greatly. We examined the most common refractory questions arising in routine inpatient management of advanced HF. METHODS:From the inpatient HF service at 1 hospital, we prospectively recorded cli...
