Beta-blockers are associated with significantly reduced mortality, but not hospitalizations, in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF). The researchers found that β-blockers correlated with significantly lower all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.721; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 0.549 to 0.945; P = 0.0180) but not hospitalizations.
