The present study was aimed at investigation of clinical course of co-existing chronic heart failure (CHF) and COPD and influence of a selective β1-blocker (BB) nebivolol on clinical course of COPD and respiratory function in patients with ischemic CHF. Results showed that a combined therapy of CHF including nebivolol significantly increased effectiveness of CHF treatment irrespective of presence of COPD and did not worsen bronchial obsrtuction.
