Heart rate reduction as a marker to optimize carvedilol treatment and enhance myocardial recovery in pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy

Conclusion: This study demonstrates that HRR is safe and improvement in LVEF is related to the degree of HRR. The magnitude of LVEF improvement was enhanced by a major reduction in HR. It provides evidence that HRR could be used as a clinical marker to treat HF in children.
