Betablockers reduce oxygen pulse increase and performance in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction

Beta blockers (BB) reduce chronotropic response and exercise capacity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). To analyze the influence of BB on exercise performance and O 2 pulse increase as a surrogate for stroke volume in HFpEF.
