Beta-blockers improve clinical outcomes in heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF); but not in those with preserved EF. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a prognostic factor independent of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In a retrospective with 1969 patients with HF and LVEF of ≥40%, beta-blocker was associated with improved survival in those with low GLS (GLS <14%), but not in those with GLS ≥14%. In this prospective, randomized clinical study, the investigators will assess the effect of carvedilol in patients with HF and EF > 40% and GLS < 14% and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) > 400 pg/mL. The primary endpoint is the time-averaged proportional changes in NT-proBNP level from baseline through month 3. The secondary endpoints include the change in NT -proBNP at month 3 and month 6.
