Carvedilol SR Study for Biomarkers From Blood and Urine and Safety of in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Summary

Beta blockers have been used to reduce the mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients in addition to ACEI/ARB, MRA, ivabradine and ARNI. However, the effective and safe medical therapy is not well established in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) yet. Recent meta-analysis showed that beta blockers may also be beneficial for reducing the mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in HFpEF like HFrEF. However, the clinical effect and safety of carvedilol have been largely unknown in HFpEF. Therefore, CAYMUS HFpEF is the exploratory study to assess the change of surrogate markers (NTproBNP, hsTn) when treated with carvedilol SR vs. placebo in HFpEF patients
