摘要
Despite the current advances in treatment, acute decompensated heart failure accounts for more than 1 million hospital admissions annually. Many of the patients hospitalized are already receiving long-term treatment with β-blockers. For patients who receive full dose β-blocker therapy and suffer acute decompensated heart failure, clinicians face two key questions: what to do, if anything, with the dosage of β-blocker and what is the best way to integrate inotropic and β-blocker therapies for patients who require inotropes. This article discusses these issues and reviews the available literature. Because these topics have received little systematic evaluation, we also present our clinical approaches to these problems.
