Abstract
beta-blockers have been conclusively proven to increase survival and improve symptoms of heart failure, yet there is underutilization of these agents most commonly because of misunderstandings of the relative contraindications and adverse events during treatment. In this manuscript, we discuss the potential contraindications to beta-blockers in heart failure and compare the true risks against the significant benefits.
