NCT ID NCT06964464

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study compares two common heart failure medications, carvedilol and metoprolol succinate, in 2,000 adults who have an implantable defibrillator (ICD). Participants currently taking metoprolol will be randomly assigned to either stay on it or switch to carvedilol. The goal is to see which drug better prevents heart-related hospitalizations, death, or unnecessary shocks from the ICD.
