ABSTRACT
Beta blockers are contraindicated in patients with acutely decompensated heart failure. Current therapeutic strategies increase morbidity and mortality. We have compared the effects of frequent doses of diuretics vs a single dose of diuretics and cautious uptitration of carvedilol. Our results indicate that, although clinical compensation is achieved with both strategies; the effects on neurohormonal activation and ventricular arrhythmias are opposite.
