Beta blockers can decrease the myocardial contractility and make heart failure worse. However, beta-blockers were shown to reduce mortality and morbidity in heart failure patients.

Beta blockers should be used in all patients with stable heart failure with reduced LVEF. They should be used after ACE inhibitors.
