| Parameters | Aggressive beta-blocker titration (n = 122) | Guideline directed beta-blocker titration (n = 45) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACEI or ARB | 122 (100.0) | 45 (100.0) | - ∗ |
| MRA | 68 (55.7) | 27 (60.0) | 0.622∗ |
| Diuretic | 122 (100.0) | 45 (100.0) | - ∗ |
| Nitrate | 42 (34.4) | 17 (37.8) | 0.688∗ |
| Digoxin | 19 (15.6) | 3 (6.7) | 0.196∗∗ |
Values are expressed as n (%). ACEI = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, ARB = angiotensin receptor blockers, MRA = mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists; n = number.
