Objective To observe the effect of carvedilol on cardiac function and heart rate variability(HRV) in patients with congestive heart failure(CHF) . Methods Sixty-three patients with CHF were randomly divided into two groups. 33 cases (carvedilol group) were given Carvedilol titrated from low dose to target dose in addition to standard therapy for CHF. The cardiac fuction and HRV of all patients were examined before and after 6 months therapy. Results After 6-month therapy, LV end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and LV end-systolic dimension (LVESD) in carvedilol group were significantly lower than those in control group (P
