What does the study involve
What will happen if I take part?
Here's what to expect:
You'll meet with a doctor or nurse to go over your medical history, have a routine health check including -
A blood pressure check
Heart rate check
An ECG - tracing of your heart rhythm
You'll fill in questionnaires about why you previously stopped your tablet.
You'll record your symptoms in a smartphone app wich you will be trained how to use. if you do not have a smartphone one can be provided for you.
After the Study
With your permission we'll share your results with your usual heart failure team - you'll continue your usual care with your usual doctor and be able to make a more informed choice about whether to continue your beta-blocker.
12 months later we'll check in once more to see how you're doing.
Key info:
Total study time - 15 weeks with a check in 1 year later
Travel costs will be reimbursed
You may withdraw at any time
What you will get from the study:
What will happen to you?
Your Role
You'll take tablets during certain weeks, as directed by us, the research team. These tablets will be either:
A beta-blocker - which will be labelled and you will know this is what you are taking.
A beta-blocker tablet - which is not labelled and you will not know this is what you are taking.
A placebo tablet - this is a tablet with no medicine. It will be unlabelled so you will not know what you are taking.
Nothing at all
Each day you'll report how you're feeling using a simple smartphone app - or by phone if preferred. The app takes around a minute a day.
Lifestyle
You don't need to make any changes - you can continue with your usual regime. If you are started on any new medications please let the research team know. If you plan on becoming, or become pregnant please inform the research team.
Benefits
Personal: You may discover if your symptoms were truly caused by beta-blockers or not—helping guide your future treatment.
