Abstract
Experimental and clinical data suggests that increased serum catecholamines may have predominantly detrimental effects in patients with congestive heart failure. Some investigators have proposed use of beta-blockers in heart failure as a means of ameliorating the harmful effects of the excess catecholamines. The clinical experience to date with use of these agents as therapy in congestive heart failure is limited but does suggest a future role for beta-blockers as adjunct therapy in a select population of patients with heart failure.
