Exercise testing of healthy men in a new perspective: from diagnosis to prognosis.

abstract：:Experience accumulated from several large trials strongly suggests that beta-blockers should be used for the management of chronic heart failure[87]. It is appropriate to add beta-blockade to conventional therapy such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors and digoxin, as this was the approach used in the major trials. It is ap...
