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

abstract：BACKGROUND:Current US and European guidelines recommend that ejection fraction (EF) be measured at least once in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). However, it is not known how age and sex influence adherence to this recommendation. METHODS:We reviewed a national sample of Medicare patients discharged with ...
