PHASE4

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of beta-blockers on physical function in older adults with heart failure. We will achieve this objective by conducting N-of-1 trials. N-of-1 trial...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Ambulatory adults ≥65 years of age with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) according to ACC/AHA guidelines: (signs and symptoms of Heart failure \[HF\] and ejection fraction \[EF\] ≥50%)
  • Taking Beta blocker

Exclusion

  • Alternate Causes of HFpEF Syndrome:
  • Severe valvular disease
  • Constrictive pericarditis
  • High output heart failure
  • Infiltrative cardiomyopathy
  • Other compelling indication for beta blocker
  • Prior EF \< 50%
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Angina symptoms
  • Acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass surgery in prior 3 year
  • History of ventricular tachycardia
  • Atrial arrhythmia with hospitalization for rapid ventricular response, prior 1 year
  • Sinus tachycardia \> 100 beats per minute (bpm), atrial arrhythmia with ventricular rate \>90 bpm, systolic blood pressure \> 160 mmHg
  • Clinical instability (N-of-1 trials are appropriate for stable conditions only)
  • Decompensated HF
  • Hospitalized in past 30 days
  • Medication changes or procedures in prior 14 days (to prevent confounding from other interventions), at PI discretion
  • Estimated life expectancy \<6 months
  • Moderate-severe dementia or psychiatric disorder precluding informed consent
