CSP #2026 - Beta Blocker Dialyzability on Cardiovascular Outcomes
The investigators aim to determine, using a point-of-care randomized controlled trial design, if hemodialysis patients, who are randomized to metoprolol succinate (a dialyzable, beta-1 selective beta blocker), have an improved cardiovascular outcome compared to those randomized to carvedilol (a non-dialyzable, non-selective beta blocker with alpha-1 antagonist properties). The investigators will also examine intervention practices to identify components that best support engagement and sustainability.
