Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change From Baseline in Resting Heart Rate at Week 6

    Heartbeats in each minute were calculated and averaged to obtain the resting heart rate.

    Baseline, Week 6

  • Change From Baseline in Resting Heart Rate at Week 14

    Heartbeats in each minute were calculated and averaged to obtain the resting heart rate.

    Baseline, Week 14

  • Change From Baseline in Resting Heart Rate at Week 26

    Heartbeats in each minute were calculated and averaged to obtain the resting heart rate.

    Baseline, Week 26

Secondary Outcomes (18)

  • Change From Baseline in Resting Heart Rate at Week 3, 10 and 18

    Baseline, Week 3, 10 and 18

  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) at Baseline, Week 14 and 26

    Baseline, Week 14 and 26

  • Left Ventricular End-Systolic Dimension (LVESD) at Baseline, Week 14 and 26

    Baseline, Week 14 and 26

  • Left Ventricular End-diastolic Dimension (LVEDD) at Baseline, Week 14 and 26

    Baseline, Week 14 and 26

  • Interventricular Septal Thickness (IVST) at Baseline, Week 14 and 26

    Baseline, Week 14 and 26

  • +13 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Bisoprolol

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: Bisoprolol

Interventions

Participants received Bisoprolol orally, once daily at a dose of 1.25 milligram (mg) up to Weeks 3, and then it was up-titrated to 2.5 mg up to Week 6, 3.75 mg up to Week 10, 5 mg up to Week 14, 7.5 mg up to Week 18 and 10 mg up to Week 26.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • year, male or female.
  • Chronic Heart failure subjects with medical history of cardiac disease or other related cardiovascular disease.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than or equal to (=\<) 40 percent (%).
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) class of II - IV
  • NYHA II : Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but ordinary physical activity results in undue breathlessness, fatigue or palpitation.
  • NYHA III:Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but less than ordinary activity causes undue breathlessness, fatigue or palpitation.
  • NYHA IV:Unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms at rest can be present. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort increased.
  • Signed Informed Consent Form (ICF).

You may not qualify if:

  • Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) within 3 months.
  • Under beta-blocker treatment for the last 2 weeks.
  • Under other medicine treatment which may affect heart rate, like Non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (NDHP-CCBs) or ivabradine for the last 2 weeks; Under Digoxin treatment \[more than (\>) 0.125 milligram (mg)\].
  • Uncontrolled Diabetes \[hemoglobin A1c, (HbA1c) \>7.5%\].
  • Severe or uncontrolled hypertension \[resting Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) \>180 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), or resting Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) \>110mmHg at screening period\].
  • Severe hypotension \[resting SBP less than (\<) 90mmHg, or resting DBP\<50mmHg\].
  • Resting heart rate \<60 beat per minute (bpm).
  • Any contradiction to Bisoprolol according to label, including:
  • Acute heart failure or during episodes of heart failure decompensation requiring intravenous inotropic therapy.
  • Cardiogenic shock.
  • Atrioventricular block of second or third degree (without a pacemaker).
  • Sick sinus syndrome.
  • Sinoatrial block.
  • Slowed heart rate, causing symptoms (symptomatic bradycardia),
  • Decreased blood pressure, causing symptoms (symptomatic hypotension),
  • +27 more criteria
