Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparative Study of Carvedilol Versus Metoprolol Initiation and 1-Year Mortality Among Individuals Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis.
Magdalene M. Assimon,M. Alan Brookhart,Jason P. Fine,Gerardo Heiss,J. Bradley Layton,J. Bradley Layton,Jennifer E. Flythe +6 more
TL;DR: Carvedilol initiation was associated with higher 1-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and one potential mechanism for these findings may be the increased occurrence of intradialytic hypotension after carvedilol (vs metoprolol) initiation.
