MERIT-HF Comment Metoprolol CR/XL significantly reduced mortality and hospitalizations independently of achieved heart rate and change in heart rate Achieved heart rate and change in heart rate during follow-up were closely related to baseline heart rate. Therefore a common target heart rate can not be defined for all patients with heart failure Aim for the highest tolerated dose in all patients with heart failure regardless of baseline and achieved heart rate 27

MERIT-HF Dose vs Outcome Summary (1) The data taken together clearly show that patients in whom doctors stopped titration at 100 mg are at higher risk than those titrated to more than 100 mg The heart rate reduction was surprisingly similar in the high-dose and low-dose groups - both reached a mean heart rate of 67 bpm indicating increased beta-blocker sensitivity in the low-dose group of patients 34 Wikstrand J et al, JACC 2002;40:491-8
MERIT-HF Dose vs Outcome Summary (2) Risk reduction was similar in the high-dose and low-dose groups - a 38% reduction in total mortality This may be the result of similar beta-blockade as judged from the heart rate response 35 Wikstrand J et al, JACC 2002;40:491-8
Post-hoc Subgroup Analysis in Relation to Dose of Study Medicine after 3 Months Conclusion These data do not imply that the maximum target dose of 200 mg metoprolol CR/XL should be reduced for patients with heart failure, but rather the results support the idea of an individualized, non-forced dose-titration regimen, which is guided by patient tolerability Prognosis clearly seems to be improved also for patients not tolerating the maximum target dose of 200 mg metoprolol CR/XL 36 Wikstrand J et al. for the MERIT-HF Study Group

Conclusion 1(2) It is not possible to define a common target heart rate or a common final beta-blocker dose for all patients with heart failure. Analyses performed support the idea of an individualized dose-titration regimen, which is guided by patient tolerability only. 39 Wikstrand J et al, JACC 2002;40:491-8, Gullestad L et al, JACC 2005;45:252-9
Conclusion 2(2) The first line target dose should be any of the following: 200 mg metoprolol CR/XL once daily 10 mg bisoprolol once daily 25 mg carvedilol twice daily aiming for the highest tolerated dose. 40 Lancet 1999;353:9-13; Lancet 1999;353:2001-7, N Engl J Med 2001;344:1651-8 Wikstrand J et al, JACC 2002;40:491-8, Gullestad L et al, JACC 2005;45:252-9
