Abstract
A subgroup analysis was performed in black patients who participated in the Metoprolol CR/XL Randomized Intervention trial in Congestive Heart Failure trial. Results suggest a beneficial effect of beta blockade and support the use of beta blockers in black patients with clinically stable heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction.
