What is the effect of Beta-blockade with nebivolol on elderly heart failure patients?
Beta-blockade with nebivolol has been shown to be beneficial in elderly heart failure patients with impaired and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. According to the study 'SENIORS (Study of Effects of Nebivolol Intervention on Outcomes and Rehospitalization in Seniors With Heart Failure)' published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in 2009, patients who received nebivolol demonstrated a significant reduction in death from cardiovascular causes and hospitalizations for heart failure compared to those who did not receive it.
