[Controlled release metoprolol succinate in MERIT-HF. Analysis of patients subgroups]
Abstract
Results of the investigation of metoprolol CR/XL which was conducted in large randomized controlled study MERIT-HF in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are presented. In the whole trial this beta1-selective blocker lowered mortality of patients with CHF. Analysis of results in subgroups shows that metoprolol CR/XL was equally effective in middle aged and old patients, in men and women.
