Chronic treatment with Carvedilol improves ventricular function and reduces myocyte apoptosis in an animal model of heart failure

BACKGROUND: β-blocker treatment has emerged as an effective treatment modality for heart failure. Interestingly, β-blockers can activate both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic pathways. Nevertheless, the mechanism for improved cardiac function seen with β-blocker treatment remains largely unknown. Ca...
