Low Dose Beta-Blockers As Effective As High Dose After a Heart Attack


In a new study, patients treated with one-fourth of the dose of beta-blockers tested in large clinical trials had a 20 to 25 percent increase in survival, indicating that dosing likely needs to be personalized for patients to get the best benefit.

‘Phenomapping’ Categorizes Heart Failure to Tailor Therapies

Northwestern Medicine scientists used “big data” tools to classify for the first time three distinct categories of a common heart failure syndrome. The findings may be used to better predict how diverse patients will respond to treatments.

Clinical Breakthroughs
