title: Metoprolol CR/XL in black patients with heart failure (from the Metoprolol CR/XL randomized intervention trial in chronic heart failure).

Results suggest a beneficial effect of beta blockade and support the use of beta blockers in black patients with clinically stable heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction.
