Heart failure in a multiethnic population in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

abstract：:Carvedilol has been shown to be beneficial for patients with heart failure, but it is not clear how it should be initiated in routine clinical practice, particularly in the elderly. This study is a retrospective review of 19 patients of age 80+/-4 years with heart failure, who had Carvedilol treatment initiated in a r...

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) experience breathlessness and fatigue on exercise. One of the abnormalities seen on maximal exercise testing is an increased ventilatory response to exercise (VE/VCO(2) slope). The cause of this is unknown, but is likely to be due to a combination of interacting pe...
