A member asked:
Can you give beta blockers to a chf patient?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Long time ago the first beta blockers like propanolol were contraindicated in chf. Nowadays we prefer to use more selective beta blockers for CHF like coreg(r)(carvedilol) or metoprolol.Poole-wilson pa, swedberg k, cleland jg, et al.
