Summary

This study explores whether a person's genetic makeup can guide how doctors prescribe beta-blockers for heart failure with mildly reduced pumping ability. Ten participants will receive beta-blocker therapy guided by their polygenic score, and researchers will measure changes in heart function using MRI. The goal is to see if genetics can make treatment more effective.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

beta blocker

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that genetic testing helps doctors choose the right dose of beta-blocker for heart failure patients, leading to more personalized treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is testing a method, not a new drug, so it won't directly improve health.
