Implication

Exercise training benefits on peak VO2 persist with beta-blockers in HF; confirms no attenuation and supports combined use.

Structured PICO

Does exercise training improve peak VO2 and quality of life in chronic heart failure patients taking beta-blockers?

P
Population
Chronic heart failure patients
I
Intervention
Exercise training while taking beta-blockers
C
Comparator
Exercise training without beta-blockers (placebo), or sedentary controls
O
Outcome
Peak oxygen consumption (VO2)surrogate

Beta-blocker therapy does not attenuate the benefits of exercise training on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure.
