Yong Zou

Abstract

Objective:To study the effect of carvedilol on cardiac function in patients with chronic congestive heart failure(CHF).Methods:78 patients with CHF were randomly divided into treatment group(42 cases) and control group(36 cases).The control group used conventional treatment programs.The treatment group was treated with Carvedilol from low dose to target dose in addition to conventional therapy for 6 months.Results:Heart rate(HR)in Carvedilol group were significantly lower than those in control group(P0.01).The LV ejection fraction(LVEF), stroke volume(SV) and E/A were significantly higher than those in control group(P0.01).Conclusion:Carvedilol is effective and safety in treatment of CHF.
