Effects of nebivolol in elderly heart failure patients with or without systolic left ventricular dysfunction: results of the SENIORS echocardiographic substudy

Abstract

In patients with heart failure and advanced systolic LV dysfunction, nebivolol reduces ventricular size and improves EF. The absence of detectable changes with standard echocardiography in patients with predominant diastolic heart failure questions the mechanism of benefit on morbidity/mortality in such patients.
