Carvedilol improves time and frequency domain indices of HR variability and corrects the altered scaling properties of HR dynamics in patients with CHF. It also improves LVEF and functional capacity. These specific changes in HR behavior caused by carvedilol treatment may reflect the normalization of impaired cardiovascular neural regulation of patients with CHF.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
